Universe is not user friendly but sometimes it's fun

What do you usually write in a document when you don't want it to be distributed?
For example, "confidential," or "not for distribution," or "not for public release." In Italian, "strictamente confidenzale" or something like that.
And where are documents like this used? In companies, organizations, and places like that. And obviously, to make it accessible to internal staff, they're placed in a special folder on the company intranet. And as usual, the idiot in question forgets that robots, like Google, also reach that folder.
Now search for the above phrases in Google and have fun sifting through the tens of thousands of documents that pop up. Obviously, not everything you find is a confidential document; There are also pages that contain the aforementioned sentences by chance (like this post), but in any case, it seems that many companies enjoy throwing their minutes in the faces of all comers.

I got the best results with this search. If you then limit the file type to PDF, things are even better.
Now try adding the name of a specific company...
