When did Google exist? - The origin at a glance

The Google search engine is probably known to almost everyone today - but how long has Google been around? Google counts as the market leader of Internet search engines and is considered the most visited website in the world. Thereby, up to 3 billion search queries are processed daily.

Since that time there is Google

The company Google LLC was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Bring in September 1998. Already in 1996, the two published the predecessor of the Google search engine "BackRub". This was later renamed to Google. Since then, many more functions have been added, such as image and video search. An equally big addition was the Maps navigation service, which allows you to plan and view routes. But the search engine has even more exciting features.

• Write an equation in the text box of the search engine, it returns you the result of the calculation.
• Function graphs and unit calculators are also built into the search engine. Here you can simply enter "cm in m" in the text field to open the calculator.
• If you enter an address in the field, you will be shown the exact location in Google Maps.
• In addition, Google offers a translator. Again, you just have to search for it. Die Übersetzungen waren anfänglich noch holprig, haben sich jedoch stetig verbessert.
• Des Weiteren können Sie sich über Google beispielsweise das Wetter und Kinopläne anzeigen lassen.

Viele Unternehmen haben mittlerweile verschiedene Suchmaschinen entwickelt – meist mit deutlich weniger Erfolg als Google.
