Hyderabad , March 22 INTERNET search provider Google continues to recruit rapidly and has moved to a large centre in Hyderabad near the Hitec City. In India, Google plans to expand both its engineering services team based out of its Bangalore operations and AdWords team in Hyderabad. The latter offers global support-cum-development work for its online advertisement-driven services. The Chief Financial Officer of Google, Mr George Reyes, said that the company has brought in its work culture to the Indian operations, where innovation continues to be its driving business theme. "Google has emerged as the largest search engine hosting about 8 billion documents, URLs and other content. We continue to acquire as much content we can possibly and grow the size of the index," Mr Reyes said addressing a news conference at the company's new RMZ centre. When asked about the recent spat with the news agency, AFP, Mr Reyes said, "We acquire content legally. Google always helps its users access information from across the world. There is always noise in the system and disgruntlement. Our objective is to help people find information with ease." The Director of AdWords, Mr David Fischer, said, "We are in the process of internationalising these services which help people organise the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. The teams here complement our operations in Mountain View and Dublin." "AdWords is Google's core product search service. This is currently available in 41 languages as opposed to over 100 language-search interface. This offers advertisers flexibility in providing performance-based ad themes. Though we do not have region-wise break-up, India could offer great scope," Mr Fischer said. "Gmail, Google's to be commercially-launched e-mail service, is under beta testing offered through invitation. Once we make it bullet proof, we will commercialise it. But I cannot comment when this would be," Mr Reyes said.
