Я гуглом не пользуюсь много лет - много сайтов оказываются вне поиска, показываются только те сайты которые выгодны или лояльны гуглу. Поэтому не знаю как там работает приложение. А вот в Яндексе оно почти не работает, большинство сайтов вне ретинга WOT. Поэтому считаю бесполезным это приложение, тем более что оно было уличено в продаже данныых третим лицам. Удаляю.
