elgooG (word Google spelled backwards) is a mirrored website of Google Search with horizontally flipped search results, also known as a "Google mirror". It was created by All Too Flat[1] "for fun", which started to gain popularity in 2002.[2] ElgooG found practical use in China after the domestic banning of Google, circumventing the Great Firewall,[3] but it no longer works. A WHOIS request shows that the domain "elgoog.com" was registered to Google LLC since 2000, but it is currently for sale.[4] The site has since migrated to the domain "elgoog.im".[5]
