Strange Google Links
The other day while I was procrastinating from doing things I should have been, I found several interesting google links I have never seen before...
http://www.google.com/intl/xx-hacker/why_use.html
http://www.google.com/intl/xx-hacker/
This one is strange, everything is in "hacker speak", and all the links work and keep that same encoding of the words...
http://www.google.com/3.html
This one is just old. It makes reference to indexing 3 billion pages. Rumor has it they are way passed that number.
http://www.google.com/lucky.html
Reminiscent of the old google, I‘m not really sure what this one is.
http://www.google.com/default.reg
http://www.google.com/google_rsearch.reg
These two are just strange because they are registry files for internet explorer settings. I wouldn‘t expect to see that in the google root directory.
http://www.google.com/ig/currentcomm/current_links_module.html
This one is only interesting because of the reference to the online file backup account...
http://www.google.com/ig/current
This is funny because this looks like their new customized home page...
http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=km&tab=di&ie=UTF-8
This is another interesting encoding of the google page
http://www.google.com/sitemap.xml
Maybe this isn‘t a big deal, but I was surprised to see this xml sitemap in their root.
http://www.google.com/mozilla/google.xul2
I have never seen this before, so I thought it was strange. Looks like it is for a mobile device or something...
http://www.google.com/ie_rsearch.html
This one looks like what shows up in the IE sidebar at times. Maybe thats what the above one was for too?
http://code.google.com/webstats/2005-12/elements.html
If you like numbers, I just thought this was an interesting break-down of the pages they index and elements of those pages.
 
 
http://www.google.com/moms/
http://www.google.com/moms01/
http://www.google.com/googlefriends/may1998.html
http://www.google.com/translate_t
http://www.google.com/googleviewer/loading.html
http://www.google.com/ig/resetprefs.html
These don‘t really do anything, just interesting or strange pages I found.
---UPDATE----
Several people asked how I found these sites. Basically it came down to being bored (and procrastinating doing actual work) and just googling google. Something likethis, orthis, but in modified and varied versions.

The Google Gulp thing was an April Fool‘s joke.

About the 3 billion pages indexed, look at the bottom of the page, copyright 2001. Probably just an old page...

withhttp://www.google.com/ig/current
there was news a while ago that google are allowing companies to make customized versions of the personalized home page for use by customers and employees
This is nothing more than a hosted home page for the employees/customers ofhttp://www.currentgroup.com/ (an ISP specializing in BoPL)

http://www.google.com/ie is a very simplified addless google.

What about this then:
http://www.google.com/googlegulp/product_line.html
very odd.
Case.

googlex.jayssite.com

Posted by Giovanni at March 4, 2006 02:25 PM
Great List!

Is there a link between "Current Communications"
(http://www.google.com/ig/current) and "Ubuntu",
considering the similar Icons?
Posted by Joost at March 4, 2006 10:28 AM
Lovely stuff! How did you find it all?
Posted byrAymond at March 4, 2006 10:22 AM
This officially seals the deal... you are a nerd!
Do you know all these other nerds that are commenting on your entry, or did they just randomly find your site while searching for "interesting break-down of the page index"?
Later!

If you notice on the language preferences page, they also offer klingon.
Note: I have never watched Star Trek.

The 3 Billion really seem to be a thing of the past. Try searching for something strange that does not exist: -af8flkdjsaf48ur ...

http://www.google.com/mozilla/google.xul2
Works fully in Mozilla Seamonkey which is the replacement for the old mozilla browser suite browser.
How can i use it in a Seamonkey sidebar?
Get Seamonkey

Just a note, the .xul2 file is actually a sidebar for the old mozilla suite browser. It might still work in firefox, but the integrated search in the toolbar is much more convenient...

Where and how did you find these links?
