Google is the most used search engine on the web, started by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. The search results are returned based on a PageRank algorithm, which involves over 200 criteria to find results for each search.

In addition to web pages, Google search also returns images, Excel files and YouTube results that are linked with the search.

Google search offers an "I'm feeling lucky" option which returns only the first search result, bypassing all others and all advertising. This option is reported to lose Google $110 million a year, as 1% of searches choose this option.

For all the corporate spending on Apple-hatred in the Windows-versus-Mac debate, Apple has gained a sizable share, even against a corporate behemoth with a lock-in application like Microsoft Office. Ultimately, thanks to the Internet, the decision is largely … more

Have you ever googled your name?

Celebrities tweet on Twitter. It's been told that many employers … more
