=History=
In January 1996, Google's history began as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, PhD students at Stanford University.
Search engines at the time ranked each page according to the number of times the searched keyword appeared on the web page and displayed it as a search result.
Page and Brin have proposed an improved search engine theory that ranks search results by analyzing the relationships between websites.
The new search engine, theorized by Page and Brin, determines the suitability of a website in a search by determining the number of web pages that link to that site and the importance (quality) of those web pages. It was to evaluate the two.
The two named the new technology "PageRank."
The new search engine by Page and Brin evaluated the importance of the website by checking the number of backlinks, so the two initially described the search engine as "BackRub. It was called by the nickname "meaning)", but in the end it was named "Google" after the unit of the number "googol".
1 Googol is a value of 100 0s after 1 and was a name to indicate that it is a search engine that provides a huge amount of information.
The original Google domains were google.stanford.edu and z.stanford.edu, which operated under the Stanford University website.
