How Soon After Filing are we on Google?

apresmoi: it means that you should avoid going on RECAP, which is a free way of getting PACER, because you pay for it dearly: anything you look up through RECAP becomes googleable, that includes your bk petition IF you look it up through RECAP. so don't look it up through RECAP.

if you are trying to get revenge against someone else who filed, the best way to get their bk on google is to go on RECAP and look up their case. their bk will then show up on google.

Yes, I looked up the software and that's how it works. Anytime you access, all those docs you access are going to a central internet archive. Where they will live forever, for free.

I almost used RECAP to look myself out, then discovered that all the docs went to google. DON'T DO IT! And, don't start looking up people you don't know if you don't want them to land on google.

I filed nine years ago (dark ages by internet standards). My BK has never come up on google. I have done a few searches of my name in "free background check" software, and the BK does come up.

Yeah, this is the first thought that came to my mind that evildoers would do. It's just pure evil.

See what developer of the software said

The case filings and dockets we collect will not be indexable by Google or other web search engines. This means that when your clients search for their own name on Google, no court documents in our collection should appear. The documents are publicly available on the Internet Archive but only accessible if you can manually locate the court and case number you are interested in.
