Since
its
start
in
1998
,
Google
has
one
of
the
most
popular
search
engines
.
It
has
from
a
research
project
in
the
dormitory
room
of
two
college
students
to
a
business
that
now
employs
approximately
20
,
000
people
.
Google
?
s
founders
,
Larry
Page
and
Sergey
Brin
,
in
1995
when
they
were
in
their
twenties
and
graduate
students
in
computer
science
at
Stanford
University
in
California
.
They
realized
that
Internet
search
was
a
very
important
field
and
began
working
together
to
make
searching
easier
.
Both
Page
and
Brin
left
their
studies
at
Stanford
to
work
on
their
project
.
Interestingly
,
they
never
to
finish
their
degrees
.
Brin
was
born
in
Russia
,
but
he
has
in
the
U
.
S
.
since
he
was
five
years
old
.
His
father
was
a
mathematician
in
Russia
.
Page
,
whose
parents
were
computer
experts
,
has
been
in
computers
since
he
was
six
years
old
.
When
Google
started
in
1998
,
it
did
10
,
000
searches
a
day
.
Today
it
does
235
million
searches
a
day
in
40
languages
.
It
indexes
1
trillion
Web
pages
.
How
is
Google
different
from
other
search
engines
?
Have
you
ever
how
many
ads
and
banners
there
are
on
other
search
engines
?
News
,
sports
scores
,
stock
prices
,
links
for
shopping
,
mortgage
rates
,
and
more
fill
other
search
engines
.
Brin
and
Page
wanted
a
clean
home
page
.
They
believed
that
people
come
to
the
Internet
to
search
for
specific
information
,
not
to
be
hit
with
a
lot
of
unwanted
data
.
The
success
of
Google
over
its
rivals
has
proved
that
this
is
true
.
Over
the
years
,
Google
has
new
features
to
its
Web
site
:
Google
Images
,
where
you
can
type
in
a
word
and
get
thousands
of
pictures
;
Google
News
,
which
takes
you
to
today
?
s
news
;
Google
Maps
;
and
more
.
But
one
thing
hasn
?
t
:
the
clean
opening
page
that
Google
offers
its
users
.
In
2009
,
Forbes
.
com
listed
Page
and
Brin
as
having
net
worths
of
$12
billion
each
,
at
36
and
35
years
old
.
