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...

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.
