According to page 4 of the link Chris_R posted, they were asked to provide:

"all queries that have been entered on your company's search engine between June 1, 2005 and July 31, 2005, inclusive."

They amended this after "lengthy negotiations" to:

"the text of each search string entered onto Google's search engine over a one-week period (absent any information identifying the person who entered such query"

So they did want everything, they've just narrowed down this foothold attempt to get a victory against Google - I wonder what the other engines agreed to?
