    It's amazing, and a little sad, to think that something created in 1989 that changed how people used and viewed the then-nascent Internet had nearly vanished by 2024.

    Great news if you're looking for something from the 80s edit: fixed link

      Turum turum tum tum tum: Altavista, baby... :thumbsup:

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        The link in the quote is incorrect.

        "the debugger doesn't tell me anything because this code compiles just fine" - random QA comment "Facebook is where you tell lies to your friends. Twitter is where you tell the truth to strangers." - chriselst "I don't drink any more... then again, I don't drink any less." - Mike Mullikins uncle

              I was going to say... altavista was the first crawler on a 64 bit platform...

                Wow, that's interesting! It's amazing to hear that Archie, the first web search engine, is back. It's great to see such an important piece of internet history being revived. Looking forward to seeing how it works today!
