    Likely a reference to an old search engine (altavista), which of course sucked next to google. Yet, it ironically gave better results than Google does today.

      No, to Astalavista, which was also a search engine, but for pirated and other illegal stuff.

        Now that you mention it. I had near completely forgot. I knew that site at some point.

    Astalavista was the main warez search engine in the pre-google era and it was a play of words with altavista which was the most popular search engine at the time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astalavista.box.sk https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astalavista.box.sk

      It wasn't a play on AltaVista -- Astalavista was actually older than AltaVista! It says so in the Wikipedia article you link to. I also only learned this mindblowing fact a few weeks ago.
