is 200m what’s been discovered, or just what was worth putting into this program? Not a huge expert but I thought it’s all fairly easy to get the next number of pi, just seemingly never ending.
We currently know about 202 trillion digits of pi. As for your other question: it is easy to get the next digit of pi from a “mathematical” point of view. By this I mean that we know functions that will approximate pi with as much precision as we want, but actually having a computer do it is very hard. The digits we know today took 3 months and needed 1.5 petabytes of high end storage.

Apparently it’s been calculated to trillions of digits so a bit lacking.
The search on that length would need an optimized index.
