Google's mission has always been to bring person and information together as rapidly as possible. Who is doing this is a detail.

You are, I submit, forcing a distinction because you wish it rather than because it makes sense.

I'm forcing a distinction, because in one case they work with the companies that they index, and in the other case they work against those companies, by stealing their information and displaying it with their own ads.

What they do is connect users to what they want to see. Your persistent attempts to force a distinction have the distinctive air of someone whose livelihood depends on said distinction.
