         The {World-Wide Web} {search engine} that
        indexes the greatest number of web pages - over two billion by

        index in less than a second.

        note the difference in spelling.

        Googleplex Star Thinker in the Seventh Galaxy of Light and
        Ingenuity which can calculate the trajectory of every single
        dust particle throughout a five-week Dangrabad Beta sand
        blizzard?"
