         The {World-Wide Web} {search engine} that
        indexes the greatest number of web pages - over two billion by

        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

        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?"
