Abstract:
Uses a complicated mathematical analysis, calculated on more than one billion hyperlinks on the web, in order to return high-quality search results. This analysis allows Google to estimate the quality, or importance, of every web page which it returns. The importance of a web page is entirely independent of any query. Instead of showing static summaries of the web pages, Google gives an excerpt of the text that matches the query, with the search terms in bold. Search interfaces offered in about a dozen European languages, plus Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Also offers access to World Wide Web resources organized by topic and subtopic.
