Description: Remembering the Alta Vista seach engine. On its launch day in 1995, the new search engine saw around 300,000 visitors. One year later in 1996, it was serving 19 million visitors each day. And by 1997, it was attracting 80 million visitors daily. It was very innovative. AltaVista was the first search engine to allow users to search for things using natural language. Its crawler, Scooter, was capable of indexing full text pages, making AltaVista the first searchable full text database of the web.
