Google indexes URLs.

And each URL is assigned a docID, correct?

Not precisely true, at least in today's world. In today's world, Google indexes canonical urls. In the pre-BD world, Google, improperly as they finally realized and acknowledged and eventually corrected, did index as many urls as it found in any and all online sources.

So Ronnie, tell us which parts have changed:

The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine [infolab.stanford.edu]

And then tell us how the document should currently read in place of the parts that you're indicating are now erroneous in it.
