Me too. Yahoo! is the first search engine I ever used, but I didn’t like it. I thought it gave really weird results lol Hotbot.com was my favourite search engine after that, and I kept using it until Google got into the market
At my School A can vaguely remember that we were encouraged to use Lycos for some strange reason. I am sure it was the default engine.
yahoo also, it was a lecturer when I was at Uni that recommended Google before it became popular and non business wise I have never used anything else since
altavista and webcrawler back in the good old days! Altavista was sooo easy to rank in, back in 2000
Infoseek was the first www search engine that I was actually loyal to.
I used many and not sure which was the first but I remember Yahoo, AltaVista, Excite, and Hotbot – I probably used Excite most because I think it was my ISPs default search engine.
Totally forgot about Excite! Wow… Forever ago!
And… what happened to Alta Vista? Forgot that I would use Alta Vista, too!
I remember day trading Infoseek back in the 1990’s, made about $1500 in about 2 hours.
But I used all the search engines mentioned, in which order is hard to say.altavista
then netscapeback in the mid 1990’s!
Wow, good question.
Whatever came with AOL circa 1990-91. Now I feel old.
