elgooG (Google spelled backwards) is the literal mirror image of the Google search engine; that is, elgooG searches for the search term printed in reverse. Though originally created "for fun", it has found practical use in mainland China after the domestic banning of Google.
Because elgooG search terms are printed in reverse, users are able to perform searches of Google content without detection by the Chinese government's search filters.[1] ElgooG.com is a functional website. A WHOIS request shows that it is still registered to Google[2] but there is no content present. Mirror site is still available.
