4 Billion Documents, 36 Countries Served (via Google Weblog)

You may have noticed the change to the number on the Google homepage this morning. Google now enables users to search more than 3 billion web pages—making Google the largest and most comprehensive search engine in the world….More than 40 percent of these 3 billion web pages are authored in non-English languages. Even with the recent growth in the index, Google still delivers a list of relevant results in less than half-a-second. And, Google offers users access to more than 330 million images and nearly 400 million Usenet newsgroup postings—bringing the total for the entire Google index to more than 4 billion web documents.
