Instead of a less than useful search engine.
Listen here you little shit. Ask jeeves used to be the tits, until Dogpile which was a metasearch of several other indexers. Then a scrappy little startup with a stupid name made everyone else obsolete
with a stupid name
With a stupid misspelled name. They wanted googol but misspelled it when registering the domain name.
I never liked Ask Jeeves, there were several other searches available at the time, though admittedly I can’t remember any of them now, ask Jeeves seemed to be a worse version of one of the others.
Asta la vista
Alta Vista? That was good search engine. Did I trample on the joke :/
I think there was actually a “darknet” version of altavista that was called Astalavista too. If you were sailing the high seas back then, or looking for the anarchists cookbook, for research purposes.
I remember using ask jeeves a few times in school. Then it was instantly only Google.
