Interesting to see the changes. I think that Yahoo did an excellent join with their reface and there is no reason to transition to the future design. I like how Google has always had the minimalistic design though crept up with the Products over the years.

I used to love Altavista, especially being able to just type av.com I saved thousands of keystrokes each year :)

Tell me about it. It is just amazing how far they have come in such a short amount of time. The transformation of algorithm and crawler is also interesting. Different things are more important to the crawler now (ie content, description and structure)

Search engines get better with time, be it the results or be it the appearance. Great to see this.

I used Metacrawler and Ask Jeeves until 1999 when I started using Google…haven’t used much else for search since.
