SAN FRANCISCO — Google is still in a birthday mood. On Friday as it marks its 15th anniversary the homepage Doodle serves up a playable pinata.
Use your space bar to give it a whack. You get eight tries to see how many candies you can shake out.
For a look back at Goole history, you can also do a Google search on "Google in 1998" to turn up a retro version of the homepage.
On Thursday at an event in Menlo Park, Calif., where the company was started, search executives announced a major overhaul to the company's search engine.
The new search algorithm makes search results more relevant and useful, especially when users ask more complex questions. That's happening more and more as people use voice features on mobile devices to search for information.
