In Menlo Park, California, USA on September 4, 1998, Google was founded. The American multi-national company specializes in Internet related products and services with a seemingly never-ending offering of possibilities.

Today, Google owns YouTube, Fitbit, AdMob, Tenor, and more and by 2016 they'd moved heavily into hardware and the Google Pixel was purchased more than 7.2 million times in 2020. They're expected to continuously surpass those numbers, as well, making the Pixel phone a top Android contender.

Regardless of their longstanding accomplishments, Google is of course most notably known for their search engine. Google's search engine competitors include Duck Duck Go and Bing.

Making a search on Google can be done very willy-nilly and haphazardly or it can be done using specific tools, so whether you're looking for a broad stroke of results or something very specific, you can use Google to suit your needs and desires. However, because of the diverse capabilities of Google's search engine, there's a huge potential that the slightest mistakes could result in the most astounding search results.

If you mix up a word or experience the all-too easy typo, your search results could be simultaneously unexpected and hilarious. In fact, it happens all the time, and people are usually so stunned and humored by their unexpected search results that they share them with the Internet.

1. A total babe

2. Absolutely no one on earth deserves this

3. Happy mistkaes were made

4. This has such ominous vibes

5. This is a gift from the Internet

Google may have some competition but it is still definitively the most used search engine in the world. Some studies have suggested that the number of web pages in Google's index is somewhere between 30 and 50 billion!

The internet is massive, housing trillions of websites and Google is systematically indexing all of it. Not only that, but Google's artificial intelligence technology is mind-blowing.

6. Meowgical

7. I am at a total loss for words now

8. The abundance of creativity involved in these search results is astounding

9. Actually, these search results seem like a blessing compared to how this could have gone.

10. Actually, I'm not mad about this one.

Every single moment of Google's existence, 2.4 million searches occur. This accumulates to 3.5 billion searches per day which adds up to over 1.2 trillion searches per year.

The sheer magnitude isn't all that's interesting about Google's search engine function and statistics. For example, did you know that 76% of all global searches takes place on Google?

Or how about more than 60% of Google searches occur on a mobile device and that as many as 20% of Google search results every year are new. Coming in second to Google (Bing,) means dominating a mere 2.7% of the search engine statistics.

11. The advocate we need

12. Why do people create these things

13. No one could have anticipated these shenanigans

14. You'll never look at you lamb chops the same after a mistake like this

15. This is quite frankly the worst.

For most of the world, Google goes about completely uncensored. There are only a few countries that ban or censor Google including North Korea, Sudan, Crimea, Cuba, Syria, Iran, and North Korea.

16. Disappointment cannot be detected

17. Amazing

18. Definitely not disappointing

19. Mooooooooon Power Make Up

20. So these are the hipster vibes that were missing from GoT

Google's ad revenue alone amassed $183 billion in 2020 and over 80% of that came from Google's own ad business. One can only imagine how much these numbers will continue to grow as time goes on, especially since there is no indication Google is slowing down any time soon, if ever.

21. Ridiculous, absurd, adorable.

22. I can vibe with this because I love cats so much

23. Actually, this is fantastic

24. Nothing wrong here

25. Oh no

Another interesting thing research about how Google is used has shown us is that as time goes on, people are more and more inclined to type into the Google search bar in their natural way of speaking. They are also more likely to use the voice option to perform a Google search than ever before as well.

26. I'm sure this is surprisingly relatable to lots of folks

27. C A R O L

28. Old But Gold

29. Let's make it happen

30. Oh Lawd He Comin'

In 1990, the first ever search engine was called Archie. Archie was "a simple FTP site with a downloadable directory of listings." Today, there is an entire industry called Search Engine Optimization, or SEO.

Because of Google's power over advertising and the whole Internet, many businesses have been investing in local SEO to optimize their potential via Google.

31. Corgis are a blessing

32. We need more of, whatever this is.

33. Pure Bread Doge

34. Ribbit

35. Well this is adorable

36. I don't know if I hate it or love it

37. Excellent

38. Emo cow

39. Yes, this.

40. Actually, it's amazing.

41. Fantastic as heck

42. This is what my nightmares are made of

43. This has REAL cat energy

Knowing that there's no sign of Google slowing down and the future of technology, the internet, and search engines is vast and potentially exponential, there's really no reason not to occasionally sit down and have a good chuckle at how things can simply and harmlessly go wrong. What's the biggest mistake you've ever made on Google?
