the returned result page showing your query terms bolded.
These excerpts let you see the context in which your search

technology to include variations of your search terms, those
words will also be bolded. |

see the contents of the web page as of the time that it was
indexed. If for some reason, the site link does not connect
you to the current page, you can still retrieve the cached
version and may find the information you need there. Your search
terms are highlighted on the cached version. |

When Google finds multiple
results from the same web site, the most relevant result
