I searched already and couldn't turn a thread up

at least some Google Voice voicemails are being indexed and made publicly available somehow. If you punch in "site:https://www.google.com/voice/fm/*" as a search string you get a few pages of what appear to be test messages, with a couple eye-opening obvious non-tests scattered in there as well. Dates on these messages range from a couple months ago all the way until yesterday, so this is clearly an ongoing issue

....niiiiiiiice. But somehow, I'm not surprised.

Maybe you should have also read this:

Users have the option of sharing (http://www.google.com/support/voice/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=146810) their messages on the Web and then they're surprised they turn up in search results?
