                                          Google Leaves Other Engines Still Searching

       In 1999, two Stanford graduate students created Google.com. Its co-founder's names are Sergey Brin, 26, and Larry Page, 27. The search engine has no news headlines, e-mail account offers, ads or stocks, making it simple to use and contributing to its appeal. (1) Google indexes more than 1.2 billion web pages, which is more than any other search engine worldwide. Google became the default search provider for Yahoo in 2000 and powers searches for 80 other portal sites. Google has a volume of 20 million searches a day. (2)

Google's success is particularly sweet considering its co-founders, Brin and Page, left Stanford's doctoral program in computer science to launch the search engine in 1998. Brin serves as Google's president and Page serves as the company's CEO. Page handles the company's operations and Brin does most of the research and marketing. (3) Page said the reason for Google's success is its commitment to stick to the basics. "Other search companies have turned into media companies. We have remained focused on search. Over half of our company is devoted to engineering." (3)

The results Google yields are its most important difference from other search engines. It uses a PageRank system that looks at how many other sites point to a particular page. It does not just look for web pages that contain the key words used in the search, but includes link structure, fonts, headings and other factors. (3)

With sponsors such as Kleiner Perkins and Sequioa Capital, who also put up money for Apple, Amazon.com, Cisco, Netscape and Yahoo!, Google has big shoes to fill. (3) So far, its smooth surfing for Google, a company giving its competitors a gaggle of competition.
