Google          The {World-Wide Web} {search engine} that       indexes the greatest number of web pages - over two billion by       December 2001 and provides a free service that searches this       index in less than a second.          The site's name is apparently derived from "{googol}", but       note the difference in spelling.          The "Google" spelling is also used in "The Hitchhikers Guide       to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams, in which one of Deep       Thought's designers asks, "And are you not," said Fook,       leaning anxiously foward, "a greater analyst than the       Googleplex Star Thinker in the Seventh Galaxy of Light and       Ingenuity which can calculate the trajectory of every single       dust particle throughout a five-week Dangrabad Beta sand       blizzard?"          {Home (http://www.google.com/)}.          (2001-12-28)
