Note: Google is research in progress and there are only a few of us so expect some downtimes and malfunctions. This system used to be called Backrub.

New! Wonder what your search runs on? Here are some pictures and stats for the Google Hardware.

  1. This new index contains only a very limited number of international pages because we do not want to congest busy international links.
  2. When no documents match your query, the system will return 20000 random web pages.
  3. For improved speed, try to avoid common words unless they are necessary, and use as few search terms as possible.
