| | Google (verb) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The verb to google means "to perform a Web search, that returns a greatly defined list of results...pertaining to your search topic, tremendously beating the competition, such as MSN, Yahoo, AskJeeves, Lycos, etc.", usually with the Google search engine. | | | For the search engine produced by Google Inc., see Google search; for the underlying technology, see Google platform; for other uses see Google (disambiguation). | | | For instance, a person named David Jones, or a computer program named "Click", doesn't google, since using either as a query would return hundreds of links unrelated to the individual or program in question. |

| | Google Earth is the 3D version of Google Maps, with a digital globe. | | | Google began as a research project in early 1996 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two Ph.D. students at Leland Stanford University, USA. | | | "To google," as a verb means "to search for something on Google"; because Google is so popular (perhaps 80 percent of all web users work with it) today it also means "to search the web". |

| | Google returns a lot of XML metadata about the query itself so working with query "hits" would make my examples too long. | | | I regularly hear customers say, "We have a working XML system but we know we'll have to move to SOAP soon." They are going to migrate their working systems to an unproven technology with a questionable design because they feel the dominance of SOAP is inevitable. | | | Merely by changing "/search" to "/xml" in any Google query, you could get back an XML representation of the query result. |

| | Google Inc. was founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two Stanford PhD students who developed a technologically advanced method for finding information on the Internet, exploring ways to rank the popularity of results matching keyword searches. | | | The term is becoming so established that there is evidence for its use as a general reference to using any search engine on the Web, not necessarily Google itself. | | | It accounts for up to 80 per cent of external referrals to most websites — if people want to find something online, they invariably take a look at Google search results, so it is no surprise that the name of this tool has become synonymous with the idea of the activity of searching the Net. |

| | Google tries to ignore obvious examples of this sort, so the bad guys hire renegade computational linguists to write programs that churn out pages full of searchable stuff looking enough like real text to fool Google. | | | David Beaver uses google-sampling corpus linguistics to argue that "far from" has already become an accepted pseudo-adverb, and that it occurs in Google's sample of the web at a rate of about 1 per 10 million words (roughly as often as Hammurabi or Frege, for example). | | | I checked a sample of 40 (pages 1, 5, 13, and 18 of the google hits) and found that 25% (10/40) were genuine pseudo-adverbial examples (see below for analysis of the rest). |
