When we search something on Google it returns results with a light colored text at the top, like About 1,270,000,000 results (0.29 seconds).
What does it represent and what is Google’s logic behind this?

It means that about 1,270,000,000 results were found and that search took 0.29 seconds. Which part is unclear to you?– gronostajSep 28, 2014 at 14:27

It's simply...
- The total number of matches it found &
- How long it took to find them.
You could think of it as a “bragging device”—“Look how many results I managed to find & how quickly I did it.”
SQL [& presumably other databases] automatically provide those figures for any query; for instance, from my own database… Showing rows 0 - 3 (4 total, Query took 0.0007 sec).
