In 1998, Google first indexed 26 million pages. They’ve come along way since then, and the number of individual web pages [Googles says] is growing by several billion pages per day.

“Today, Google downloads the web continuously, collecting updated page information and re-processing the entire web-link graph several times per day. This graph of one trillion URLs is similar to a map made up of one trillion intersections. So multiple times every day, we do the computational equivalent of fully exploring every intersection of every road in the United States. Except it’d be a map about 50,000 times as big as the U.S., with 50,000 times as many roads and intersections.”

So next time you say “google it” faster than the speed of light, trillions of connections and petabytes of data are being sorted just to show you your search results.

Read the full article, thanks for this Google – pretty crazy stuff.
