    I would suppose there is a mixture of languages, to be honest. It's tough to create such a powerful platform by only pertaining to one language.

    I'm not a Google employee or anything, but that would be my educated guess.

    Static html pages never fetches data from database,

    I think it must be using asp.net, and with sql server database.

    Because Google is Free text search engine, and to make free text search engines code in asp.net is very easy and simple to maintain the database.

    More than this i don't know, if i am wrong please correct me out.

    The core programming language used in creating their data maps will be C / C++ but I would not be surprised if they have applications programmed at an even lower level using assembler, for time critical stuff. For the spiders it is probably perl and there apps stack I think is Python.

    all servers run on linux so asp is out of question. a mixture of python, perl, c and a database (which I do not know).

    I worked for one of the smaller search engines for a while, 90% of what we did was c++ based. Google use Python.
