Google celebrates its birthday, the world's leading search engine turns 25 years old

Google turns 25 years old.

The world's most popular search engine started as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were both students at Stanford University in the late 1990s.

Working from their dorm rooms, the two developed a new algorithm for search engines that ranked websites based on the number of other websites linking to them, which they called PageRank.


This algorithm turned out to be much more effective than existing algorithms, and Google quickly became the most popular search engine on the Internet.

Over the years, the Google search engine has become an integral part of our daily lives, shaping the way we search, communicate and interact with information on the Internet.

In 2006, the Oxford Dictionary even added the word "google" as a verb to refer to searching for information on the Internet, regardless of the search engine used. /Telegraph/
