September 8, 2012 5:44am

Search giant Google on Saturday paid tribute to the iconic sci-fi TV series "Star Trek" with an interactive doodle marking the show's 46th anniversary.

Google search engineer Amit Singhal, a self-admitted Trekkie, said the doodle uses modern web technologies to take visitors "where no one has gone before."

"Every scene has hidden surprises you absolutely have to discover for yourself, especially the fate of the Redshirt. A team of outstanding designers and engineers, and numerous Star Trek fans at Google, got really creative with this one," he said on his Google+ account .

Singhal added "Star Trek" played a special role in his journey, adding the destiny of search "is to become the Star Trek computer, a perfect assistant by my side whenever I need it."

The doodle on Google's home page (www.google.com) features caricatures of main characters from the original "Star Trek" series.

Clicking on the main panel on the USS Enterprise's bridge will trigger sound effects from the show, while clicking on the door will trigger a "red alert" and lead to the next scene.
