And both would be wrong. Google is not self aware. Google google and get over a billion and a half hits. it is a search engine, nothing more. It looks for user patterns and key words and puts text adds in the side bar. there is a time horizon so one has to go to some trouble to find old material. Their crawlers are very good. It archives links mostly, not files. If it is off the server the file is gone. With some trouble one might find it on the way back machines.
