When I was first introduced to the internet, I think I may have been shown yahoo as the first engine. I do remember being taught by my father that it is likely that if you add ".com" to the end of a word, the page may exist, for example ibm.com. While I never had a jarring experience, looking back I realize how horrible advice it was. I think I was 7ish so this would be around 93.

Good thing WhiteHouse.com wasn't yet being used as an adult website yet if you wanted to learn more about the new US President Clinton back in 1993.
I never realized the irony of that site gaining notoriety in the late 90's around the same time Bill and Monica were having a little too much fun in the oval office.

Oval office? I thought it was the Oral Orifice!

Ditto here. Ya know - I never did really question who or what Dewey was. I just entered it into Google. Some old coot who dreamed up a method of categorizing the books in a library. Who'da thunk it? I just learned the system, I didn't worry about buying the old guy a birthday card or anything.

First search engine I used was a card file and the Dewey Decimal System.

Got you beat there. My first search engine was on clay tablets.
