Add Google

Site name

I think core sites, such as Google/Microsoft should be represented better - currently neither are properly represented (they're indexed under own service/s or aliases).

This certainly isn't a novel request, I've read up on #35 #208 and #1831 (+ referenced within), but I haven't seen it properly addressed.

These core businesses are the issuers/providers of the authentication flow/framework for their products and services, so seeing 5+ Google services, but no Google entry is a little odd. (But I can see some merit in listing those services, and them being continually added).

Essentially, I propose a 'Google' entry is added (perhaps to 'Other', like MS 365) and 'Microsoft 365' reclassified as 'Microsoft' (happy to submit a separate issue for that). Same goes for Yahoo.

I apologise, I can't think of other core services like these 3, but I'm sure there are some other cases.
It also makes me wonder if some scrutiny/pushback is warranted for services, as there can then be n entries for a given company.
Again, I can understand why: a user might search for a service, rather than the provider, but then, they are still signing in using the provider... so the onus really falls on them.

Plus, additional services require further maintenance (but that's not my place to say) and can cause variance between services.

Actually, I can see there's some discussion here - #3707 and here #7165

I can't say I've thought about a schema solution to the identity provider situation, I could suggest the following (just to contribute somehow)?

{
    "Google": {
    "domain": "google.com",
    "additional-domains*": [
      "google.ch",
      ".."
    ],
   "services/products**": [
     "Nest", "Docs", "Foo", "bar"
    ],
    "tfa": [
      "sms",
      "email"
    ],
    "documentation": "doc/link",
    "categories": [
      "Other***"
    ],
    "regions": [
      "global"
    ]
  }
}

* I'd even go as far as to propose current service domains are simply added to the 'additional-domains' for indexing
** Could be either or something else
*** a current category, of course there may be a better/new one

There can then be some UI element to indicate the services/products to a user.
Such entries would still be indexed by their services (either via additional-domains or this new services key), meaning no value is lost, a experience remains the same.

Lastly, it's an optional key, like 'additional-domains'

---

Regardless of the above, I still believe Google should get an entry, and Yahoo & Microsoft's should be updated.
