Google search is a web search engine owned by Google
Inc. and is the most-used search engine on the Web. Google
receives several hundred million queries each day through its
various services. Google
search was originally developed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin
in 1997.[5]
Google Search provides more than 22 special features beyond
the original word-search capability.
These include synonyms, weather forecasts,
time zones, stock quotes, maps, earthquake data, movie
showtimes, airports, home listings, and sports scores. There
are special features for numbers including prices,
temperatures, money/unit conversions ("10.5 cm in
inches"), calculations ( 3*4+sqrt(6)-pi/2 ),
package tracking, patents, area codes,
and rudimentary language translation
of displayed pages.
