Etymology

The word 'Google' originated from a misspelling of the word 'googol', which refers to the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. The term was chosen to signify the vast amount of information that the search engine can access and organize. Google was founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who developed the search engine as a research project at Stanford University. It quickly became one of the most popular and widely used search engines in the world, revolutionizing the way people find information online.
