14 years of google

14 years to the most famous search engine. Happy birthday 10v100.



The Google search engine was created as an educational project for students at Stanford University, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. In 1996, they worked on the BackRub search engine, and in 1998, based on it, created a new search engine Google.

Although the corporation was founded on September 2, 1998, and the domain Google.com was registered on September 15, 1997, a search engine (since 2000) sometimes celebrates its birthday on another day: both September 7 and September 27.

The name Google comes from the word Googol deliberately distorted by Sergey Brin, which means “ten to the hundredth degree” - 10-100.
