This is completely false. The effect on revenue is not used to make launch decisions for ranking changes.
Search is rank and display. Products is 100% bought and that you had to "disclose". I say "disclose" because it's not apparent, unless searches click on a link, that's how ethical you are.

That would be about 38K searches per second. Does this include Google instant searches? Google search results show a time value for each search. E.g.: About 2,210,000,000 results (0.12 seconds).
