What you describe sounds more like a large ElasticSearch like full-text index over the entire internet.

Whatever it was called, it was way better than whatever Google is doing currently.

  • In fairness, there wasn't the level of utter crap back then that there is now. Not that there wasn't a LOT back then, but there is even more now.

    • People say that, but on the other hand companies like Google have a lot of much better ways of categorizing things now than they did in the past. I'm not sure I buy the excuse of "gosh, it's just too hard for us :(" from this international company worth trillions employing geniuses.

      It really feels either intentional or egregiously incompetent.

    • How comes yandex.com can show me results that contain my search term? Most egregious example: I am searching for name of abandoned blogspot domain: yandex shows me 1 result, which is that domain. Goolge shows me "no results" fishing monster. Blogspot is google service !!!
