elgooG (Google spelled backwards) is the literal mirror image of the Google search engine; that is, elgooG displays all text on all web pages cached by Google in reverse. Though originally created "for fun", it has found practical use in mainland China after the domestic banning of Google. Because elgooG search terms are printed in reverse, users are able to perform searches of Google content without detection by the Chinese government's search filters.
