History of Search Engines
Google, Yahoo, and Bing the three mostly used search engines
in recent days. But do you know which one is the first search engine in the
world? “Archie” the first search engine
produced in World Wide Wave. It was the first tool to be used on the internet
at 1990 developed by Alan Emtage from McGill University.
But “Archie” had one disadvantage that time which was it
searched for only titles not the contents. The problem was overcome by a
developer named Mark McCahill known
as “Gopher”. Gopher was able to
index all the text files for quick and easy searching. After that it was “Wandex” was developed that let the
users to search the web pages using keywords. That was possible as a result of
the crawler program that indexed the title in the web pages. These search
engines formed the base for today’s search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing
which follow the footsteps of Archie,
Gopher and Wandex.
