Why is Google the only search engine you focus on. Do they contribute to the university?

What about Yahoo and MSN?

Michael,

Google is the most used search engine and therefore has the most name recognition, in many cases standing in for "Search engine" in general. In the case of this presentation we also concentrated on more than just the search engine, discussing various other online applications available through Google like maps, documents, calendars, etc.

I'm not aware of any Google contributions to the Universities.
