A web search engine is a software system that is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web.

Google Reunion video going viral... sweet jhajariya ~ and here is something on an advt promoting Google which is really good – ‘Partitions divide countries, friendships find a way,” says the caption below the video, which is one in a series of five videos. The three-and-a-half minute commercial starts with Suman, a young girl in India, listening to her grandfather Mehra  narrate his memories of Yousuf, his childhood friend he had shared memorable times with, in Lahore. With watery eyes, he explains how the Partition split the two pals apart, with Yousuf staying in Pakistan as his friend crossed into India.
