    I think altavista shall be ranked after google, yahoo and msn. It is still one of the biggest search engines, though can't line up the big three.

    Not a big player for my website. Google is No. 1, then yahoo, MSN and then Ilse (a Dutch search-engine).

    Wasn't Altavista the first with Video and Audio search? I remember searching for videos on Altavista back in 2001.

    Altavista was the only thing I used back in 96-97 or so. I still use it for some Babelfish translations, but not for search.

    Altavista was a great SE but it lacked a few things. I doubt it will ever gain the popularity it use to have.
