    What Google does will be usually for Google's benefit. However, they are enormously helpful also. Though I was horrified to find out how much private info is accessible Google and its ilk. Out of curiosity I checked with my daughter's name in one of these engines. Not only I got her full address and phone number but also the current value of her house in US!
