When people want to find something on the Internet, they often say,“Let’s Google it!”It means “Let’s search for it on the Internet!”

It all began in the summer of 1995, Larry Page, 24, and Sergey Brin, 23, met at Stanford University. In their project, the two students came up with a plan to make a new search engine(引擎). They founded(成立)Google a year later. It became a company on September 7,1998.

Google is not the first search engine, but it is certainly the most successful. Google’s worldwide market share(市场占有率)was as high as 82.8 percent last year, according to Marketshare. Hitslink.com.

Before Google,search engines ranked (排名) websites simply by how many times the webpage has been visited. Page and Bin used a completely different way, by the number of other websites that linked(链接) to that site. Google helps people find the most important site that connects to their key words.

As popular as Google in the English world, in China, Baidu is the most popular and biggest search engine. It held a market share of nearly 80 percent for web search in 2012.

Baidu was started in 2000 by Li Yanhong and Xu Yong. It offers searches for website, audio, images...It also provides the largest online Chinese encyclopedia(百科全书)，Baidu Baike.
