In 1999, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin faced skepticism about their new search engine amidst established players like AltaVista and Excite. Page expressed confidence in Google's ability to improve search quality significantly, stating there was a considerable opportunity in this domain. Brin posited that users would unknowingly gravitate towards better search engines due to their efficiency. Despite initial doubts from the media, Google's innovations gave it a distinct advantage, evidenced by their first major funding round of $25 million just six months after their incorporation.
Page stated, "It's possible to do a much better job on search, and it's the main application that people use on the Internet. So there's a big opportunity."
Brin claimed, "Users may not even realize but subconsciously they end up using your search engine because it works better for them. Users end up going where the search is best."
