The data certainly is sent, but it is used as an identifier. It's more consistent to think of a Google search as "get the links that are related to 'diwakar'" than "please do a search over the web with your page rank algorithm for the term 'diwakar'". The point of view is that you operate upon the set of links (the resource) - GET the links, POST to the set of links, etc. - rather than request the invokation of an arbitrary operation.
