If I'm Google, and I scan your code and return a link to it when people ask to find code like that (but show an ad next to that link for someone else's code that might solve their problem too), that's fair use and legal. My search engine has probably stored your code in a partial format, and that's fine.

It's fine because a search engine is a generic tool the main purpose of which is not to replicate the code verbatim to be used as code.
