I remember using Altavista, Excite, WebCrawler and Yahoo simultaneously in order to find what I wanted.

  Me too. Or one of those multi-engine search sites (Copernicus?). One day, I decided to try Google. I remember having thought "Humm, this seems to be slightly better. I'll use it for a while" Sometimes it seems incredible that it was only 10 years ago.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about Copernic. They used to be awesome.

    Ditto, I found Google in about 1998, from a multi-engine search site and noticed it was coming up with all the good stuff. I must have been one of the first people to use it (at the time). Additional note that most other search engines were a test of pain before Google came along.
