   • WebCrawler. WebCrawler started life in January 1994. Designed by Brian Pinkerton at the University of Washington, it was originally a desktop app. It wasn't until April of the same year that the web version went live.
   • Lycos. Lycos is another old-school search engine that still has a functioning site. It was born out of Carnegie Mellon University in May 1994 when creator Michael Loren Mauldin turned his university project into a full-fledged company.
   • AltaVista. AltaVista went live in December 1995 and quickly became one of the most popular search engines in the 1990s. Its popularity was down to the search engine's design; it was the first fully searchable, full-text database on the web that had an accessible and easy-to-use interface.
   • Excite. Excite is another of the oldest search engines. It was founded in 1994, with the site officially launching the following year. The creators were six students from Stanford University—Graham Spencer, Joe Kraus, Mark VanHaren, Ryan McIntyre, Ben Lutch, and Martin Reinfried.
