Do Google's pages acually exist or are they generated every time you search?

First I don't know this for afact but...There might be some kind of caching system they employ for most requested but overall no, the search results you get can change daily or even by the minute or hour if you're searching the news section. Essentially they have to be created dynamically to give the most recent relevant content.

Even searching different datacenters will give different results, try a few different search terms here: http://www.webrankinfo.com/english/t...ta-centers.php

I think the pages are generated because say you copy all the text, links, ect. from a google search for "cars" then go to google.com and paste that in. It won't find anything, so I'm guessing the search engine looks at the indexed database and generates a temorary web page for you whenever you click "search". I'm going to read the page the idiot linked to...

Your link was so-so, but at least I can use it against Yahoo, MSN ect. users

They wouldn't index their own search result pages...that would create links to every site listed and mess up PageRank.

yeah, I guess I wasn't thinking...that would be horrible...
