Maybe I didn't know about Alta Vista at the time, I can't remember the search engines I was using back then, but what I remember is that every single search was returning thousands of porn results.
Google was a revelation, it actually found things !
- saraid216 12y agoI used Dogpile, which searched about 5 engines and gave you the results for all of them.
- bsder 12y agoSo did AltaVista. And, AltaVista actually showed you a clustermap of results keywords that you could refine. So, if you typed in "python" you would see a clustermap of results that included a bunch of herpetology in that cluster and a bunch of computer science in that cluster, etc. I still miss that.

- bsder 12y agoYou might not want to spread that one around yet. 3 links about Burmese pythons hardly qualifies as a cloud around herpetology. I think they should avoid using this as their tech demo. Not being as capable as a 15 year old search engine running on significantly less powerful hardware is kind of embarrassing.
- musername 12y agoThe technical capability can't be inferred from the used capacity. The comparison is unjust.
