Google Search 198
International
Google is available in many languages and has been localized completely or partly for many countries.[60]
The interface has also been made available in some languages for humorous purpose:- • Bork, bork, bork!
- • Elmer Fudd
- • Leetspeak
- • Klingon
- • Pig Latin
- • Pirate
In addition to the main URL Google.com, Google Inc. owns 160 domain names for each of the countries/regions in
which it has been localized.[60]
Search products
In addition to its tool for searching webpages, Google also provides services for searching images, Usenet
newsgroups, news websites, videos, searching by locality, maps, and items for sale online. In 2006, Google has
indexed over 25 billion web pages,[61] 400 million queries per day,[61] 1.3 billion images, and over one billion
Usenet messages. It also caches much of the content that it indexes. Google operates other tools and services
including Google News, Google Suggest, Google Product Search, Google Maps, Google Co-op, Google Earth,
Google Docs, Picasa, Panoramio, YouTube, Google Translate, Google Blog Search and Google Desktop Search.
There are also products available from Google that are not directly search-related. Gmail, for example, is a webmail
application, but still includes search features; Google Browser Sync does not offer any search facilities, although it
aims to organize your browsing time.
Also Google starts many new beta products, like Google Social Search or Google Image Swirl.Energy consumption
Google claims that a search query requires altogether about 1 kJ or 0.0003 kW·h.[62]
