elgooG (the word Google spelled backwards) is a version of Google with backwards search results, also known as a "Google mirror". It was created by All Too Flat^[1] "for fun", which started to acquire popularity in 2002.^[2] elgooG found practical use in mainland China after the domestic banning of Google, circumventing the Great Firewall,^[3] but it's no longer active. A WHOIS request shows that the domain "elgoog.com" was registered to Google LLC since 2000, but it is currently for sale.^[4] The site has since migrated to the domain "elgoog.im",^[5] which is accessible in mainland China as of January 2024.^[6]
