General Comments
Google is loved by millions of internet users worldwide, and I am amongst them.
"Google" is a befitting name for the search engine. A "Google" is a number with 10 zeros in it one after the other. For example, 10000000000 (or 10,000,000,000). Therefore, this name stresses that the site gives LOTS of information on what you want. This is half correct and half inaccurate. Although you usually get a lot of hits for your search item, a number of results can be inappropriate, and may in fact have no relation to what you actually want to have information on. However, this problem can be overcome if you know how to professionally use a search engine (by using inverted commas and special signs etc.).
The hit return system is overall exceptional for such a popular and always-used search engine. You can get around 1 million hits in around one second on a standard 288kbps upload connection speed on your computer, which means that you usually don't wait around for long to get results for your search. The search engine is a quick thoroughfare for you to use to get to wherever you want to on the World Wide Web.
If you think that you need to go to www.google.com or www.google.co.uk to use this amazing search engine then you're mistaken. The Google search engine is also accessible from a number of other sites, and it can even be disguised (eg. AOL's search engine uses mainly the Google database). Therefore, a lot of web site collections are united over the World Wide Web.
So, I STRONGLY recommend that you use this search engine, especially over poor data collection sites like ASK.com.
