Your First Search Engine Query

by Gilad on October 25th, 2005

As far as I remember, the Internet had started mainstreaming itself around 1994-1995 (where I used to live), some of the browsers are long gone (my first was chameleon), others have evolved, search engines have been revolutionized, and I have to admit that the Internet then and now cannot be compared.
What did stay and will never change is our memories ot the young web and that is the topic of an SEW thread titled A Trip Down Memory Lane…Your First Search Engine Query. I cannot remember my last Internet search for the life of me, nor could I remember the search engines I used to use back then, fur this can make a fun read as one recalls,

Year = 1995 (high school);
Engine = Yahoo (ok, it was technically a directory back then);
Query = “Married with Children”;
Level of fascination when results returned = unquantifiable!;

and another one

Year = 1997 (was working for Arthur Andersen)
Engine = Yahoo!
Query = ‘windsurfing screensaver’
Level of fascination when results returned = don’t remember, since i had to dig a lot to find the gem i still have today on my home and office pc.
