Google is no longer focused on search and instead aims to understand users by collecting and combining vast amounts of data from many sources such as Google Analytics, Google DNS, Google domains surveys, and satellite imagery. The company's goal is to anticipate users' needs and provide personalized information without requiring searches, transforming from a search company into an omnipresent data platform that knows more about users than any other entity. This strategic shift has made Google increasingly dependent on advertising revenue and data-driven services rather than technology alone.
