google

From S23Wiki

This is the JargonFile (V4.47) entry for google - Next: google juice, Prev: Good Thing
:google: [common] To search the Web using the Google search engine, http://www.google.com. Google is highly esteemed among hackers for its significance ranking system, which is so uncannily effective that many hackers consider it to have rendered other search engines effectively irrelevant. The name google has additional flavor for hackers because most know that it was copied from a mathematical term for ten to the 100th power, famously first uttered as googol by a mathematicians nine-year-old nephew.
