## Disclaimer
Goeievraagle parodizes the logo, makes use of several styling elements and overall 
simply rips off the Google search engine. Note that I have no interest in further 
develop Goeievraagle. 

I will take down this repository without further ado if Alphabet Inc. or Google
LLC finds Goeievraagle to infringe their legal rights.
