First, use your fifty billion in stock sales to hire a team of

Google doesn't run on IIS. The "search" at Google might be
an executable. If the webserver runs on Unix (any flavor)
then executables usually do not have extensions.

The necessity to use (or work around) file extensions is imposed by
IIS. Java Servlets for example can easily work exclusively with paths
and path information.

Normally if you are typing an URL like this

http://www.mycomany.com

IIS will try to find a default.htm or default.aspx depending on the
settings, then if it is available it will be sent to the client,So

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=programming&btnG=Google+Search

in this case search is not a filename it is a directory, so all the query
string variables are passed to the default.aspx (assume it is implemented in
asp.net) file in that directoty.

That's what I'd have thought as the most obvious way to replicate it.

Everyone else seemed to just start IIS/Microsoft bashing :)
