I imagine so. I think the indexing of zip files is likely to cause the most complaints. The normal google search doesn't do that does it?

True... but I was able to find the info of some pretty well known blogs. Wonder if anything will come of it.

Something else to note is that putting code into a zip file doesn't stop it from being indexed : http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=show:cF4R5Ag...

Seems google is indexing into zip files. Dunno if that's exactly what people would expect. Still it's not like zip files are encrypted, and if you leave it sitting in a publicly accessible folder...

Well, if people leave their source code lying around in plain text, that's just stupid. Google can't index code that's being processed, this code would have to be left in a folder that doesn't process php files.

I figure if you're silly enough to leave real db access info in plain text, you deserve what's coming to you!

What do you think of all the Wordpress database info popping up? Pretty scary. How is that stuff getting indexed?
