About Google
Google is a research project started at Stanford University. Our mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. We believe the web should be a place where information is easy to find.
Unlike other search engines, Google focuses on relevance and accuracy. Our PageRank algorithm determines which pages are most important based on how they are linked to. This revolutionary approach delivers better search results than traditional methods.
