Yahoo uždaro AltaVista

Pioneering search engine AltaVista is due to be shut down on 8 July.

AltaVista was one of the first search engines to index significant amounts of web content and proved hugely popular before Google debuted.

Current owner Yahoo announced its demise in a blogpost that detailed the latest round of products and services it plans to shut down.

Yahoo acquired the AltaVista technology, index and name when it bought ad firm Overture in 2003.

After the shutdown anyone seeking the AltaVista site will be redirected to the main Yahoo search page.

AltaVista was launched in 1995 when search engines generally did a poor job of logging information on the web's rapidly growing population of sites.

The search engine was popular because it had indexed about 20 million webpages, far more than any rival at the time. It developed its own "crawler" technology that did the job of finding webpages and logging what was on them. It also used fast computers behind the scenes to return results quickly.
