The site, in 1994
A search engine that began as Brian Pinkerton's project at the University of Washington, and was the first to search the full text of web pages.
Its millionth search, on 14 November 1994, was for "nuclear weapons design and research". It is one of the oldest search engines still running.
In 1994: Launched on 21 April with more than 4,000 websites in its database.
Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 1994 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 1994, then plays a short scene. Want WebCrawler in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
