I've found, according to the webmaster of the site, the oldest search engine. This search engine isn't real good; I searched for Google and Zelda, but nothing came up. Anyways, it was made in 1993 (or so they say, I checked and it said it was created in 1997). Does anyone have one that is older? Oh, here is the link...

What about Excite.com that is the oldest one that I can think of. Its been around for a LONG time, they even have a usless messanger that no one uses. And they used to have Excite VP which used to be cool but they make you pay now.

Wow that aliweb site is really bad. I just looked up "Pope" and it found nothing. I wonder what you have to search to be able to actually find anything?

The oldest one I can think of is Askjeeves.com; it's the only one I knew of before I started using Google several years ago!
Does anyone know how old it is? I poked around the site but it didn't say. |

I don't know that this search engine is the oldest or not but I am 100% sure that this is a very very bad search engine. I have searched words like Microsoft , Yahoo and a lot of results come but not Microsot.com or Yahoo.com. And even worse when I serached Google not a single result come. What type of a search engine it is??????

Smells like a hoax to me...since I'm pretty sure lycos and yahoo came out within 1994...it'd make sense why someone trying to fake being the first would just happen to choose 1993...plus lycos/yahoo both actually work. Officially yahoo was more of a directory then a full net search engine back then, but thats irrelevant...you could still search large masses of pages for what you seek. Anyways yea, it could be legit but I would imagine yahoo/lycos hold the crown as the first (at least first public one, I assume some tech's had search engine whirring along well before then on private systems)

The oldest search engine I remember using was one called infoseek or something, I don't think it exists any more and even if it does, Google has completely replaced it.

Since Iam Using internet It was Yahoo .... Just in 1 year or so google overtook yahoo..! As for Aliweb i seem he is saying truth.. He had made it first but His presentation wasnt nice so the Script of the search engine..! So aliweb still remains in its old place intact..!
