Say you are working on a confidential deal. You need to research the target and the industry's market trends. So what do you do?

Many of us use the public library, but far more are going to use the computer right in front of us to fire up Google and conduct research.

Google has to collect that data. Do they use it to gain insight on (likely) deals to come or is there some sort of regulation that stops them from collecting that sort of data and acting on, what might be considered, insider information?
