View submission: Nice one Google
Some of the metasearch engines before 1999 were night and day compared to individual web search sites. I remember using Copernic's desktop program for about a year prior to google. Could search through just about every other search engine you wanted to, and it aggregated the results and ranked them. I don't remember there being ads either.
But yeah, google blew them all away with how simple, fast, and reliable it was.
There's nothing here!
