Google is the most-used search engine and top most-visited website, created in 1997 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. It functions by accepting search queries as text and ranking pages based on an algorithm that analyzes incoming and outgoing page links. In addition to searching web pages, Google can search images, discussions, and offers features like spell check, definitions, maps, currency conversion, and sports scores to enhance the user experience.
