Most probably backend. Thats a wide open question - can mean several things. Among others:
1. Page Ranking.
2. Storage and Retrieval.
3. Spl cases - spell checking, Google Suggest
4 etc..
So, asdf, what was the interviewer looking for?

Agreed. Interviewers will rarely ask questions like this and expect any code. It looks like they wanted to understand your thought processes and possibly understanding of the basics of how google works.
