the truth image at www.trinp.org/Game/Cube/Stil/T380.gif that is consistently left out from 'the most comprehensive image search on the web'

TRINPsite, the name of this site, is based on the five TRINP values: truth, relevance, inclusivity, neutrality and personhood. For each of these five values there is a separate 'value document' in the Valu folder on the highest level. Each value document starts with a picture of 380 pixels by 380 pixels representing the value of the document concerned. Hence, there are five of these pictures with exactly the same position in the hierarchy of files: Truth, Relevance, Inclusivity, Neutrality and Personhood. There is not any difference in access to the value documents from the Index Page, from the List of Files or from the Main Document.

One would expect that a search engine robot which finds Truth will also find the other TRINP images and vice versa. And one would expect to find all five images back after having checked a shorter or a longer list of pictures. Should it take too long, a TRINPsite picture can always be traced by adding the term trinp to one of the TRINP value terms. Therefore, it comes as a surprise that, in the week of the first publication of this document, no known search engine seems to have all five TRINP images in its public database: Yahoo, for instance, can't cope with Personhood at www.trinp.org/Game/Cube/Stil/P380.gif; Alltheweb can't cope with Neutrality at N380.gif and Live Search can neither cope with Relevance at R380.gif nor with Inclusivity at I380.gif. (Fortunately, three weeks later the public databases of Yahoo and Alltheweb contain all five TRINP images! But, unfortunately, at that time Live Search cannot cope with any TRINP image any more, while Google has lost the N380.gif picture as well, that is, in addition to the T380.gif picture, less than 51 hours after the above text sees the light of day. Before 63.19.3, i.e. less than 10 weeks after the first publication of this document Google has also lost the R380.gif picture, so that now only two of the five pictures remain: I380.gif and P380.gif.)

When this document is published for the first time Google recognizes the existence of four out of the five TRINP images. In this it does not differ from Yahoo and Alltheweb at that moment, but unlike Yahoo and Alltheweb, it is the picture at www.trinp.org/Game/Cube/Stil/T380.gif whose existence it does not recognize. To be more precise: it has not been doing this anymore for the last one or two years, in spite of claiming to provide the most comprehensive image search on the web. At the time Google's claim may hold water for all other pictures, it certainly does not hold water for TRINPsite's 380x380 truth image. The following table containing Google's image results for 8 elementary TRINP terms and the combination of truth and relevance should make this clear.

The (non)result no T380.gif at all is obtained by adding the term trinp to the elementary term(s) concerned. On 63.09.2 (Metric) or '17 February 2008' (Gregorian) the first part of the collection of 100 images shown when entering the combination of truth and trinp looks as follows:

Everywhere the R, I, N and P pictures; nowhere the 380 x 380 T picture, not even when searching for truth trinp

The following table shows the Google image search results for all five TRINP terms, when combined with trinp:

In the beginning, when Google started with its database of images, the TRINPsite truth image could be found as the second or third truth picture for months in a row. In this way, Google stood out from all other search engines. Of course, it is perfectly understandable that a picture which first takes the second place, takes the tenth, the one hundredth, the one thousandth, the one millionth or even the ten millionth place not much later. But the Google search engine or the Google company made the above truth image suddenly disappear altogether from its public database, whereas nothing special happened to it on TRINPsite, nothing which distinguishes it from the other TRINP value images, whose existence Google has chosen to recognize so far (or in the first 51 hours of this document).

Any explanation?
