I hope you added the entire link in an appendix, otherwise it’s not Google’s fault for ruining your paper.

The query itself is available in a screenshot. Also a pretty periferal part of the paper.

Looked/thought hard about options but did not come up with better at the time.

But wanted to highlight how important it is for parties starting such services to have a plan for longevity. Hopefully Goog will keep old links going for a long time.
