I prepared the following questions that can test one’s smartness in Googling. Please go on.
Questions:

1. What is the search query/word used by Indians at the maximum number of times on Google, during (December) 2006?
2. You are required to find out the director of the famous film ‘Gladiator’. Which one of the following search queries, entered in Google, you think, will bring out the result quickly? (Choose one option & justify your reason in one single line)
   • Search Query: Who is the director of Gladiator?
   • Search Query: “director of Gladiator”
   • Search Query: “Gladiator was directed by”
   • Search Query: “who is the director of Gladiator?”
3. You might have heard of ‘Google Bombing’. Or else, no problem, I will explain it briefly. Typing “failure” in Google and clicking “I’m feeling lucky” took us directly to the home page of US President George Bush. However, the page didn’t contain any word “failure” in it source. This game is known to be “Google Bombing”. Why did it happen? (Choose one option and justify/comment)
   • It is a bug in Google Search Algorithms.
   • Many people linked the word ‘Failure’ with ‘Bush’ in their websites, and hence it happened.
   • Google did it just for fun.
4. Which TWO of the followings are False about Google? (Choose two options)
   • In Google, the order of search keywords (entered in search-textbox) does affect the search result.
   • If you could pay the service charge or advertise on Google, then your website will be ranked higher by Google and will be listed on top of search result.
   • If a web page is loaded very slowly, then Google will rank the page poorly.
   • Google book search just helps to discover the book and see the sample/snippet view. You can’t download it without paying for it.
   • We can add/submit our own website URL to google manually. But, it is not guaranteed that google will update it’s database.

   • If the keyword is in <H1> tag
   • If the keyword is Bold

8. Take any meaningful word. Form a search quay using the word. The search query should produce zero number of results in Google. Constraints are: 1) the word can appear any number of time in the search query. 2) No other words should be present in the search query (Search query should not contain quotes and should not be empty as well!).(Example: Take ‘Windows’, which is a meaningful word. So, your search query can be like this: Windows Windows or Windows Windows Windows
9. Try the following:
   • Search for any missing page on Internet using Google. (Every page listed in search result should display ‘404 Page Not Found’ error)
