About Google

Google is the most popular search engine for the web. It’s designed and managed by Google, Inc. in Mountain View, California.

A Google search field is built into the Apple Safari web browser. The search field is located in the upper-right corner of the Safari window, and contains a magnifying glass icon. To do a Google search, type one or more words next to the magnifying glass and press Return.

The name “Google” originated from a misspelling of “googol,” which is a very large number (1 followed by 100 zeros).
