jan 1, 1990 - Search Engine

Description:

The first search engine created was Archie, created in 1990 by Alan Emtage, a student at McGill University in Montreal. The original intent of the name was "archives," but it was shortened to Archie.

A search engine is a web-based tool that enables users to locate information on the World Wide Web.

All Internet users have presumably have, more or less, used search engines in order for them to gain access to the different archives of the Internet. All of us in the group have used search engines to get into the Internet stratosphere.
