Google's original goal was 'to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.' This vision began to take shape when Larry Page and Sergey Brin, while at Stanford University, developed the search engine initially named Backrub, which used links to determine the importance of individual web pages [2][3][4].

The rebranding to Google reflected their ambition to handle vast quantities of information; the name was derived from 'googol,' a term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros [1][2]. Their innovative PageRank algorithm revolutionized how search engines could assess page relevance, setting the foundation for Google's future success [4][6].
