Basing himself on some new material published in volume 12 of Einstein's Collected Papers, the author suggests that among Einstein's somewhat contradictory statements concerning his knowledge of the Michelson-Morley experiment before 1905, the earlier ones are more reliable. This would mean that the experiment played a more important role than his later statements imply.
