I created a mostly unopinionated starter project [1] for creating RESTful APIs using Koa2 and ES2017+ features in a Node.js server environment as well as providing linting and testing support. It provides the setup for compiling, linting and testing your code but doesn't make any further assumptions on how your project should be structured.

It brings me back the memories of my first website created with Frontpage. I forgot the URL of the site but I found it after googling. I was amazed to see that it was still working. Here it is http://pranav.awardspace.com


It seems if you have searched something which Google has interest in, you would be allowed to login. Below code on page points towards this:

  var g=document.getElementById("g");g.src="https://foobar.withgoogle.com/"+window.location.search


window.location.search returns the query string part of the current URL.

All that bit of code is doing is ensuring the frame on the page gets passed the query string the outer page had.

E.g. https://www.google.com/foobar/?hello -> https://foobar.withgoogle.com/?hello


My guess is that they have set up some pattern matching or keyword matching against search queries for some particular programming questions related to whatever they are hiring for. NLP, maybe?
