Anyone working online back then was excited when Google launched because for the first time we could execute a search and get relevant, meaty results that actually helped us work faster and more efficiently. Using the history of the world analogy, it's more like just listing the main events and leaving out what went nowhere. :) Loren, a search engine graveyard is indeed in order!

Also, OpenText had an early web search service-- and it offered boosted ranking to paid listings well before GoTo did. You really should include WebCrawler, developed by Brian Pinkerton.
