"Nah, who needs another search engine?"
The first time I tried Google I did a search for "foo bar" and it returned web pages that only contained the phrase "foo bar", and I promptly deleted my Alta Vista bookmark.  What's funny is that I remember it so vividly, like how someone would remember where they were the day Kennedy was shot.It would be really great if Alta Vista kept their old search engine and search index circa 1999 on-line, so we could periodically remind ourselves what the web used to be like.
