Google Search, also referred to as Google Web Search or simply Google, is a web search

engine developed by Google. It is the most used search engine on the World Wide Web across
all platforms, with 92.62% market share as of June 2019,[4] handling more than 5.4 billion
searches each day.[5]
The order of search results returned by Google is based, in part, on a priority rank system called
"PageRank". Google Search also provides many different options for customized search, using
symbols to include, exclude, specify or require certain search behavior, and offers specialized
interactive experiences, such as flight status and package tracking, weather forecasts, currency,
unit and time conversions, word definitions, and more.
The main purpose of Google Search is to hunt for text in publicly accessible documents offered
by web servers, as opposed to other data, such as images or data contained in databases. It was
originally developed in 1997 by Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Scott Hassan.[6][7][8] In June 2011,
Google introduced "Google Voice Search" to search for spoken, rather than typed, words.[9] In
May 2012, Google introduced a Knowledge Graph semantic search feature in the U.S.
