Ah yes -

Go -> A programming language created by Google

Google Go -> An android app to help you search

Android Go -> A lightweight version of Android created by Google.

AlphaGo -> AI system from a Google sibling playing: Go. Go -> an ancient board game

Don't know, now I have to go look that up
If Google is so good, why haven't they made Google 2 eh?
Google 3.0 would be a minimum. In industry 4.0 times, it should at least be google 4.2, but why bother with minor versions: Google Googol! (with or without the faculty sign. As long as users say the want the new Samsung iPhone [sic], no one cares if that is barely even a meaningful number)
