It's the place MOST of us go to when we need to search the web, these days. But back in the 90s, there were many search engines to choose from, and the choice was not always obvious. In this video, I look at the glory days of search, when AltaVista, Lycos, Excite!, Ask Jeeves, DogPile, InfoSeek and MSN were just some of the choices available. Such exciting times.
