| A. | Top Links Click the link for the Google service you want to use. Search the web, look for images only, browse Google Groups (Usenet discussion archive), or search for products with Froogle. |
| B. | Google Search Button Click on this button to submit another search query. You can also submit a query by hitting the 'enter' key. |
| C. | Advanced Search Links to a page that enables you to restrict your search if necessary. |

| E. | Preferences Links to a page that enables you to set search preferences, including the default number of results per page, the interface language, and whether to screen results using our SafeSearch filter. |
| F. | Statistics Bar This line describes your search and indicates the number of results returned as well as the amount of time it took to complete your search. |
| G. | Tip Information that will help you search more effectively, based on the query you've just conducted. Will help you learn more about Google's unique special features and point to tools that can save you time and effort. |
| H. | OneBox Results Google includes many sources of specialized information and those that appear most closely related to your search are included at the top of your search results. We call these "onebox results" because they don't require you to enter your search in a special place. Any Google searchbox will trigger them. Typical onebox results include news, stock quotes, weather and local websites related to your search. |
| I. | Page Title The first line of the result is the title of the web page found. Sometimes, instead of a title there will be a URL, meaning that either the page has no title, or Google has not indexed the full content of that page. We still know it's a good match because of other web pages – which we have indexed – that have links to this returned page. If the text associated with these links matches your query, we may return the page as a result even though its full text has not been indexed. |
| J. | Text Below the Title This text is an excerpt from the returned result page showing your query terms bolded. These excerpts let you see the context in which your search terms appear on the page, before you click on the result. If Google expanded your search using its stemming technology to include variations of your search terms, those words will also be bolded. |
| K. | URL of Result This is the web address of the returned result. |
| L. | Size This number is the size of the text portion of the found web page. It is omitted for sites we have not yet indexed. |

| P. | More Results If there are more than two results from the same site, the remaining results can be accessed by clicking on "More results from..." link. |
