WHERE DID THE NAME GOOGLE COME FROM? The name Google was used after a googol, the name for figure 1 followed by 100 zeros. The number was found by Edward Kasner and James Newman in the book Mathematics and the Imagination. For Larry and Sergey, the name Google simply represents the enormous amount of unlimited information that a search engine should accommodate.

ADVANTAGES OF GOOGLE Your search covers more than 8 billion URLs. � You'll see only pages that include the terms you type. � Instead of web page summaries that never change, Google shows an excerpt (or "snippet") of the text that matches your query -- with your search terms in boldface -- right in the search results. This sneak preview gives you a good idea if a page is going to be relevant before you visit it. You can feel lucky and save time doing it. � Not only do Google's results contain all of your search terms, but Google also analyzes the proximity of those terms within the page. Google prioritizes results according to how closely your individual search terms appear and favors results that have your search terms near each other. Because of this, the result is much more likely to be relevant to your query You see what you're getting before you click � Unlike many other search engines, Google only produces results that match all of your search terms, either in the text of the page or in the text of the links pointing to the page. This spares you the frustration of viewing a multitude of results that have nothing to do with your search terms. The position of your search terms is treated with respect. � Google's index, comprised of more than 8 billion URLs, is the first of its kind and represents the most comprehensive collection of the most useful web pages on the Internet. While index size alone is not the key determinant of quality results, it has an obvious effect on the likelihood of a relevant result being returned. Google excels at producing extremely relevant results, and flat out nails many queries such as company names. We're so confident, in fact, that we've installed an "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, which takes you directly to the site of the highest ranked result in your search. Try it and let us know if our confidence is justified. You can get it, even when it's gone � It is fast, reliable, it has its own dictionary, calculator, and spell check.

HOW IS GOOGLE HELPFUL IN LIFE? Google is free to use, has a custom search engine, puts the search results according to the most popular to least popular. Google has options for image search, article search or even search for any government document. It searches according to the terms you type and also searches for other terms with same meaning.

BING VS. GOOGLE Have you ever heard of the term Bing it? Well, neither have I. I do however hear people saying Google it, practically every day. When you need to find out something unknown, or look up something in more detail, I can bet you 90% of American run to the computer and type in Google. com. Now what does this tell you? That all Americans are using some crap Despite the fact that people might think of Bing as the ‘new Google’, it really isn’t. http: //www. bing-vs-google. com/ http: //bvsg. org/

Bing is made by Microsoft Industries to compete with Google. However, it doesn’t stand a chance against it.
