Overture claims to have largest search engine

Overture announced that their acquisition of Fast Search and Transfer has led to the development of the world's largest search engine with over 3.2 billion documents.

This is impressive, yet FAST has always claimed to have indexed close to 5 billion documents, but after filtering out spam and duplicates, this number was always reduced considerably.

I may be a cynic, but maybe Overture decided to be less accurate in filtering so that it could make a big announcement and top Google's 3 billion pages.
