According to some latest reports from Googleplex, the search database of Google has finally hit a significant mark. It has tipped over the one trillion URL (files/web pages) mark. Two software engineers from Google, Nissan Hajaj and Jesse Alpert from the team of web search infrastructure made this unexpected discovery.

In one of posts at Google’s official blog, the engineers said that they always knew the internet was very big but were quite surprised to see the size of unique URL’s indexed by Google. The systems that process links on the websites to find content had hit a milestone of 1000000000000 URL’s on the website at once.

Google does not index each and every page or file on the website, so the actual web may be much larger. The database of Google represents the biggest ever index for all the search engines.

According to the Google team, they are really very proud to have the most comprehensive index for any search engine and Google’s goal has always been to stay at the top. As far as search engines are concerned, no one can beat Google.

Google is still continuing to grow. In 2000, Google recorded only one billion URL’s but by 2008 it has achieved something unexceptional.
