COMDEX/FALL ’99, Las Vegas – Nov. 16, 1999 – Google Inc. today announced that it has received top honors at the 1999 PC Magazine Awards for Technical Excellence in the Internet Infrastructure: Web Applications category. Google’s widely acclaimed search engine was among 33 breakthrough products designated as finalists in the annual awards program. Winners were chosen by the magazine’s editors, senior contributors and PC Magazine Labs from hundreds of products that were shipped in the 12-month period that ended Sept. 30, 1999.
Cited by PC Magazine as "simply a smart web application," Google’s search technology was also commended for delivering the most relevant results query after query, and displaying the results in format that is easy to scan or read. "Though the website is barely a year old, we admire the work of Google’s creators, Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page. The execution of their plan for building the site is superb," noted PC Magazine’s editors.
The magazine also noted: "This search engine consistently returns good results using PageRank techniques that determine the relevancy of search results by analyzing the number of websites that point to any page returned by a query. Google uses sophisticated text-matching techniques and returns results with page excerpts along with highlighted search terms."
"We’re delighted to receive this award from PC Magazine, an established and venerable authority on computing and Internet technologies," said Sergey Brin, Google’s president and co-founder. "Our goal from the beginning has been to provide the very best search experience on the web. We are honored by this distinction and recognition of our efforts."
PC Magazine presents its prestigious Technical Excellence awards annually to companies that excel in creating new technologies, concepts, and major advances in existing product categories.
