When a user enters a query, the search engine searches the relevant index and delivers the links ( for Web Search ) or thumbnails ( for Image Search ) that aid the user in identifying and locating the thirdparty content most relevant to the search . Brougher Dec. T¶ 4, 5. GOOGLE'S REPLY P10 has cited no contrary evidence disputing these facts . P10's response is primarily legal argument, which is prohibited by the Court ' s Scheduling Order.
