Google CEO: Qatar World Cup-related search sets a new record for traffic in the 25 years since Google was founded.
CTOnews.com, December 20, yesterday was a very historic day for Google Search: the FIFA Qatar World Cup final set a record for the highest traffic in Google's 25-year history. Google CEO Sandal Pichai (Sundar Pichai) announced in his latest tweet that traffic broke the company's 25-year record.
The record-breaking traffic was driven by the wonderful game and the gripping ending. These included Lionel Messi's long-awaited World Cup victory, Killian Mbappe's legendary performance, France's reversal in the late second half, exciting two-goal overtime and tense penalty shootouts.
The new Google Search function plays a vital role in helping fans keep abreast of the latest scores, statistics and analysis during the game. Whether it's searching for player statistics, team news, or checking scores, Google is the first choice for all football-related information during the World Cup.
It is worth noting that Google search also celebrated Argentina's victory in the FIFA World Cup with a new colored egg. When users search for terms related to the World Cup, including "Argentina versus France" and "World Cup", fireworks depicting the country's flag appear on the screen.
