I found Google when they were being used by Yahoo. The thing I remember most is being able to 'search within results' (a big improvement for decent quality searches, IMO) Yahoo had a huge directory, why did they help Goo get famous? `````````````````````` What do you remember about the first time you used Google? How did you find it? Why did you like it, or did you not return for some time??
As far as i remember i have just used google as the most popular search engine... before google i dont think i searched much. Its very thoughtful of you to think like this but google has come way ahead i think it was in nobody else hand to stop it ... And all everyone here can do is to move... But i will surely like to know more of google history...
What do you remember about the first time you used Google? I was frustrated. How did you find it? Either through Yahoo or a forum. Why did you like it, or did you not return for some time?? I didn't like it because when I tried to search for some information I would end up on a forum where someone asks a question that is exactly what I'm looking for, and the reply they get would be to search Google. Since most of the results I got were like that, I stopped using Google for awhile and went back to Yahoo.
I was using altavista,hotbot and webcrawler, then I heard about Google, and remained with it because of the clean layout and because they had more results. At that time I think the other search engines were not very active at crawling based on backlinks, they were waiting for you to submit your site.
I found Google on Yahoo..^^ and eventually been hooked on it ever since i found out that it returns more quality results than Y! and other search engines.
I remember google as a directory, and in the "mozilla" page. "Please HELP google to become the bigeste directory in the world" or something like that. And the a form to submit your site url
