The One with 2.96 billion search results

Which keyword search results in the maximum number of search results? Intution tells me it's the alphabet a, a staggering 2.96 billion. Google indexes about 8.05 billion pages. So thats about 37% of pages which have an "a" in them. It pops an obvious question. "Why dont all the 8 billion pages have an 'a' in them?". Yeah, there are Japanese and Chinese. (BTW, Does Spanish language has an "a" ?) So do English web pages constitute only 37% of what Google indexes?

The basic premise has been a fetches maximum number of results. Do you have anything higher?

Some interesting numbers:

  • I has lesser search results than you. Lesser by almost a billion!! (Is web, a place with lesser ego?)
  • US is an incredible close contender with 2.2 billion!!
  • Highest ranking number was 1. and Highest ranking alphabet was not 'I'.
