| Logo for Google, Inc. It is the preeminent icon for search engines, so much so that the generic Google (proper) or google (slang) is a verb that refers to searching … to obtain information on the Web (source). The Google search engine was developed at Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, by Larry Page and Sergey Brin and launched just a little over two years (1999) after we (who we are) introduced .network websites online. Today, we are privileged to provide users of The Network with a custom version of the search engine—the Google/.network search engine. |

Google/.network search engine:
… a customized version of the well-known search engine owned by Google, Inc. Google Search is the most-used search engine on the World Wide Web (source of quote).
Google allows us (who we are) to make its search engine available throughout The Network, customized with the four radio buttons as shown at the top of this page.
Google the Web here and your search engine results page will show a help button. The button is shown below linked to the same explanation as it is at the top of the SERP.
Setting off search phrases with quotation marks can often help you zero in on what you are looking for on the Web, i.e., help you get more precise search results. For example: The first link in the paragraph above the search engine provided takes you to an explanation of what it means to Google the Web. Suggestion: Using that expression, try copying the following italicized search terms to the search engine, then search and compare the differences in the results you get: (1) Simple search: define Google Web (2) define "Google the Web"
