Looking For iGoogle? It’s Been Removed, Says Google

If you are looking for iGoogle, you may use Google to search for igoogle only to find out that Google has told us “iGoogle has been removed.”

iGoogle in Google or Not?


If Google had a meta description tag that used the word iGoogle in it, chances are that the tag would have been used to make a nice, user-friendly description in the Google search results.
