What Does Google Mean?

Google is an internet search engine. It uses a proprietary algorithm that's designed to retrieve and order search results to provide the most relevant and dependable sources of data possible.

Google's stated mission is to "organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." It is the top search engine in the world, a position that has generated criticism and concern about the power it has to influence the flow of online information.

Google is so dominant that the term "Google" can also be used as a verb, so that when someone searches for something on Google, they may say they "Googled" it.
