#2Does "all" mean all the URLs publicly known, or did they exhaustively iterate the entire URL namespace?

They iterated the entire URL namespace by having volunteers run a client so they didn't get IP banned.

are we sure that the whole entire URL namespace has been mapped?
How would that even function, I mean, did they loop through every single permutation and see the result, or what exactly/ how would that work?

(In addition to the higher activity ones parent link says they'll now continue to redirect.)
