It is my understanding that ALL content exists in RAM. I'd expect that as organized and structured but capable of instantly accessing and displaying.

I hope you realize that Google is a search engine and NOT the internet itself.

I am well aware of how search engines work.

The index is the distilled essence of the net. However, numerous links have stated for years that the CONTENT not just the index exists in RAM. Your link does not refute that.

It is perfectly fine with me if what I understand is in error. I'd like to change it. But you must provide the information for me to do so.
