Break out the bubbly and raise a toast to Google because the search engine has reached the grand old age of nine.
The mammoth search engine was born on 7th September 1998 and in its nine years of internet life it has become a global phenomenon, typically delivering hundreds of millions of results on anything you wish to find online.
The word “google” has even become a common euphemism for the word “search” -- as in, "I'll just google that" and has even made it into the American and English dictionary.
Many happy returns to Google!
