Google Search is a search engine operated by Google. It allows users to search or ask for information by entering keywords or phrases on a website page or in an installed application program. It uses algorithms to analyze and rank websites based on their relevance to the query and frequently uses generative artificial intelligence (AI) to respond to queries. It is the most-visited website in the world; and as of 2025, it has a 90% share of the global search engine market.
