5 years ago, with $1m in funding it was set up in a garage, today it indexes over 3 billion pages and handles 200m queries a day.
In just 5 years, it's taken the majority of the web search market, and has single handedly re-invented web searching (anyone remember how difficult it was to actually find relevant results before Google developed their ranking).
