A search for the term Google on Google reveals 2.09 billion entries.That shows the diversity in products and geographic spread Google has.That may also account for the popularity of the search term Google.

One my google "Google" to do research on the company and is searching for news articles, etc. I think the reason why more people visited Facebook on Christmas and New Year’s is because people used their FB profiles to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to their friends.

People who use their toolbar's search box as a route TO google, not realizing it IS google? Just a guess.

It's easy to forget that Google is not just a verb for search, it's also a major company with a lot of popular products. Maybe someone wants to research on the company itself? Maybe someone wants to find information on the stock? Maybe someone wants to find one of their products for which don't know the exact name, i.e. Google Maps, or streetview? As far as why someone would search for Google on another search engine, here is one possibility. I have a couple of software items that are updated frequently. Whenever I have to update, there is a prompt to add a Yahoo tool bar to my browser. I did this once as an experiment,but soon found that Google's search results were better. After doing a search on Yahoo, I would copy my search term, then enter google into the search box to do a search on google, then paste my copied search term. Afer a while I simply uninstalled the yahoo browser toolbar. Why would anyone Google “Google”?

If you were grouping the query into broad match cases like "google maps" etc. that begins to make much more sense. My second question as it relates to any match type is what percentage of the queries were via Google distributed search e.g. toolbars, Firefox, etc or Google search appliance. Those instances would make more sense for a navigational query. Do you record those as google executed searches or is it domain specific? re: “google” my first question would be is that is an exact match term?
