Today’s video Doodle takes a stroll down memory lane by exploring popular searches all over the world throughout the last two decades.

In 1997, one of Google's co-founders, Larry Page, had just arrived at Stanford University to pursue his PhD in computer science, reminisces the company on its official page.

From there, the two came together with a common goal in mind: to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful, a mantra that would go on to become Google's mission statement.

The two hunkered down in a garage - Google's first office - and got to work.
