In Menlo Park, California, USA, on September 4, 1998, Google was founded. The American multinational company specializes in Internet-related products and services, offering a seemingly never-ending array of possibilities.

Today, Google owns YouTube, Fitbit, AdMob, Tenor, and more. By 2016, they had moved heavily into hardware, with the Google Pixel being purchased more than 7.2 million times in 2020. They are expected to continuously surpass those numbers, making the Pixel phone a top Android contender.

Regardless of their longstanding accomplishments, Google is, of course, most notably known for its search engine. Google's search engine competitors include DuckDuckGo and Bing.

Making a search on Google can be done very haphazardly or with specific tools. Whether you're looking for a broad stroke of results or something very specific, you can use Google to suit your needs and desires. However, because of the diverse capabilities of Google's search engine, there's a huge potential for the slightest mistakes to result in the most astounding search results.

If you mix up a word or experience the all-too-easy typo, your search results could be simultaneously unexpected and hilarious. In fact, it happens all the time, and people are usually so stunned and amused by their unexpected search results that they share them with the Internet.

Google may have some competition, but it is still definitively the most used search engine in the world. Some studies have suggested that the number of web pages in Google's index is somewhere between 30 and 50 billion!

The Internet is massive, housing trillions of websites, and Google is systematically indexing all of it. Not only that, but Google's artificial intelligence technology is mind-blowing.

Every single moment of Google's existence, 2.4 million searches occur. This accumulates to 3.5 billion searches per day, which adds up to over 1.2 trillion searches per year.

The sheer magnitude isn't all that's interesting about Google's search engine function and statistics. For example, did you know that 76% of all global searches take place on Google?

Or how about the fact that more than 60% of Google searches occur on a mobile device and that as many as 20% of Google search results every year are new? Coming in second to Google (Bing) means dominating a mere 2.7% of the search engine statistics.

Google's ad revenue alone amassed $183 billion in 2020, and over 80% of that came from Google's own ad business. One can only imagine how much these numbers will continue to grow as time goes on, especially since there is no indication that Google is slowing down any time soon, if ever.
