    Search Engines in the Pre-Google Age (Included Screenshots) - zhiQ

    Adapted from Jacob Gube's collection of notable 90s search engines. The first-generation search engines featured are:

    Hotbot, Excite, WebCrawler, Ask Jeeves, Yahoo!, Dogpile, Altavista, Lycos, MSC Search, AOL Search, Infoseek, Netscape Search, Metacrawler and All the Web.

    Back then, I used WebCrawler, Altavista and Hotbot the most. My other favorites were Lycos and Infoseek. And I only started using Google in 2001.

    Here are the screenshots of the popular 90s search engines and how they 'look' then and now.

    Yahoo is still a hot cluttered mess. Ask & Bing look nice w/ soothing background photos. Still don't use 'em
