    A Google search for -gmgmercgf (in other words, every page that does not include the nonsense string gmgmercgf), finds 9.16 billion pages.

    9,670,000,000 for me

    I think it's interesting that none of the top results has a PR of 10 and that most of them are commercial sites.

    It could take 300 years to index all the world's information and make it searchable, Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt predicted on Saturday, October 8, 2005, at the Association of National Advertisers annual conference here.

    "We did a math exercise and the answer was 300 years," Schmidt said in response to an audience question asking for a projection of how long the company's mission will take. "The answer is it's going to be a very long time."

    You are correct in that Urdu is the official Pakistani language. It's the same spoken-wise as Hindi (the official language in India.)
