Google synchronises with Wikipedia near-instantly.

A few months ago, on public transport, I have seen someone added a section to an article (can't remember which article).

A few minutes later, just out of curiosity, I searched that article on Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo and Qwant.

Unlike all the others, Google listed that new section as a shortcut below its search result. Minutes after the edit was made.

This clearly suggests that Google and Wikipedia/Wikimedia Foundation are somehow working together.

[Wikipedia is] a stupid video game, and the "encyclopedia" is an accidental byproduct.
