  1. Ars Technica: Remembering the pre-Google web, when search was an experiment. “In the mid-’90s, the web was exploding, but finding anything of actual value on it felt like an elaborate negotiation with whatever proto-search engine happened to be standing closest to the door. Unlike now, when Google is widely seen as both portal and gatekeeper, sites like AltaVista, Lycos, Excite, HotBot, and […]

  6. Why Google’s new AI-saturated search page will be a disaster

    Google didn’t invent full-text search of the Internet – that honour belongs to early pioneers such as WebCrawler, Lycos and AltaVista. But for the last 25 years or so, Google has been synonymous with online searching, providing the quickest and most effective way to find things online (although its results may be getting worse.) More recently, it has been adding to its search engine more […]

  18. Search pioneer #AltaVista’s star shone bright with a clean and minimal UI 30 years ago — engine lost momentum after multiple ownership changes and the embrace of the #webportal trend
    The original fast and clean internet search destination launched on December 15, 1995, with an enormous (for the time) 16 million pages indexed. Within a year of its establishment, it scaled from a day-one workload of handling 300,000 user queries to tens of millions of requests every day.

  27. @sjvn AltaVista was brilliant, mainly because in the early 90s the internet was full of useful websites. So a search engine did not have to be sophisticated to return relevant results.

    No click-bait, few scams just static html and maybe an animated GIF or two. If you were lucky.

  32. Рунет, морфология и квантовый поиск: куда катится эволюция поисковиков

    Когда-то поиск в интернете казался простым: вбил запрос — получил ссылки. Но с годами всё поменялось. Алгоритмы эволюционировали: от tf-idf и PageRank до embedding-моделей и RAG-подхода. В этой статье я разобрал, как поисковики прошли путь от каталогов до ИИ-помощников, и что это значит для нас — технарей.

  40. Remember when the internet was all about portals? 😂 Ah, '98, when "Do you Yahoo?" was a legitimate question and #AltaVista was considered cutting-edge. Fast forward to 2025, and we're still obsessed with which tech giant is devouring the others—only now it's in 4K. 📺💥
