❖ When Google was founded in September 1998, it was

serving ten thousand search queries per day. By the end

of 2006 that same amount would be served in a single

second

❖ Google now processes over 40,000 search queries every

second on average (visualize them here), which

translates to over 3.5 billion searches per day and 1.2

trillion searches per year worldwide. The chart below

shows the number of searches per year throughout

Google's history:

helpful results by mistake.
