The first real search engine, in the form that we know search engines today, didn’t come into being until 1993. It was developed by Matthew Gray, and it was called Wandex. Wandex was the first program to both index and search the index of pages on the Web. This technology was the first program to crawl the Web, and later became the basis for all search crawlers. And from there, search engines took on a life of their own. From 1993 to 1998, the major search engines that you’re probably familiar with today were created:
• Excite — 1993
• Yahoo! — 1994
• Web Crawler — 1994
• Lycos — 1994
• Infoseek — 1995
• AltaVista — 1995
• Inktomi — 1996
• Ask Jeeves — 1997
• Google — 1997
• MSN Search — 1998
