Just off the top of your head, don't need to try and look it up to check out anything:

Can you name a web search engine that you used before Google?

Yes

No

Don't know/just want to see the results

The book I'm reading suggests that Google became so market dominant that most people couldn't name a search engine that came before it, so I'm curious.

Askjeeves

I primarily used AltaVista and Yahoo before my 10th grade English teacher told me about Google in 2000. I have such a vivid memory of being like, "oh shit this IS a great tool..." which is hilarious to recall 26 years later.

[traegorn]

Altavista was the big one.

I also used Search Directories (which are different) like Yahoo! too.

Okay but who remembers AskJeeves!?

[silivrenix]

I was scrolling too fast, not bothering to read the post, and thought "Hotbot" was someone describing AskJeeves.
