Google search
In addition to the main URL Google.com, Google owns 160 domain names for each of the countries/regions in which it has been localized.[10] As Google is an American company, the main domain name can be considered as the U.S. one though the gTLD .com can be used by any company in the world (not only those from the United States). Google.us does exist but is only a redirection to google.com because dot-US is by far less common than dotcom in the United States. An example is Google.ca or Google Aus.

Cybersquatting
Some domain names unregistered by Google are currently squatted:
- Google.by (Belarus), the correct URL is google.com.by
- Google.cm (Cameroon), common mis-typing of google.com (there is no localized version for Cameroon)

Search products
In addition to its tool for searching webpages, Google also provides services for searching images, Usenet newsgroups, news websites, videos, searching by locality, maps, and items for sale online. In 2006, Google has indexed over 25 billion web pages, 1.3 billion images, and over one billion Usenet messages.[citation needed] It also caches much of the content that it indexes. Google operates other tools and services including Google News, Google Suggest, Google Product Search, Google Maps, Google Co-op and Google Desktop Search.
There are also products available from Google that are not directly search-related. Gmail, for example, is a webmail application, but still includes search features; Google Browser Sync does not offer any search facilities, although it aims to organize your browsing time.
