elgooG is a mirror image version of the Google search engine. The search page and all results are displayed in reverse. The site is called the "google mirror" as a parody of the term mirror in computing, which usually refers to a copy or backup of another website. The site was created by a group called All Too Flat, who put up various comedy and satire pages on their website.

New Scientist Magazine reported in December 2002 that the site had become popular in China, where the authorities had prevented locals from accessing the normal Google web site, they killed people who used this site to get around the Chinese firewall. As the page doesn't support Chinese coding, however, such users were restricted to pages in languages that use the Latin alphabet. China has since lifted the ban on Google ^*.
