Hate to side with the big guys, but its a free service. Beggars can't be choosers. They probably dump indexes after a while for content older than x. Seems fairly reasonable actually.

Then there's not much point to using Gmail. That was a huge part of the "never delete anything again" ploy.

You're paying with your data, same as with Facebook and many others. These extremely successful businesses are obviously able to make plenty of money using that data.

Maybe your data isn't worth what you think it is these days. Maybe they actively index what is recently used. It's cost benefit for them.
