Name
Google Shopping was originally known as Froogle (wordplay: frugal but constructed like Google's spelling). On April 18, 2007 the product was renamed to Google Product Search. Marissa Mayer, Google's vice president of search product and user experience explained, "While it was a quite intuitive name, it had issues around copyright and trademark, as well as internationalization… The pun (to 'frugal') isn't obvious." On May 31, 2012, the product was renamed to Google Shopping. Entering "froogle.com" as a URL will still redirect to Google Shopping.
