    Thanks! I was trying to remember if that was the name of it, until I saw your post. Same here. I used altavista for a while after webcrawler.

    Never really used Yahoo's search. In the early days, Yahoo was careful to explain that they were a directory, not a search engine.

    When I began my studies, we had some Dec workstations, with Mosaic browser...
    I think WebCrawler was the default(?) on those, but I may be mistaken...
    Altavista and Yahoo I saw first when the Dec:s were upgraded to Sun workstations running Netscape...
    Memory a bit shady, it was 20 years ago...
