The site, in 1996
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 1996: The second most visited website on the internet in February. Owned by AOL, it added the human-edited guide GNN Select in April.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 1996 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 1996, 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.
