The service launched in 1995 from Palo Alto, pairing a fast web crawler with a full-text index that helped users find their way through a rapidly expanding online world. From its dramatic rise in the 1990s to its eventual redirect to Yahoo Search in 2013, AltaVista reflects an era of experimentation and change. A thoughtful keepsake for collectors of internet and technology history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAltaVista was a pioneering web search engine created by researchers at Digital Equipment Corporation to showcase company hardware and make files on its public network easier to find. Based in Palo Alto, California, it publicly launched on December 15, 1995, with a fast web crawler called Scooter and an efficient search database called TurboVista. It offered a full-text, Boolean-searchable index of the World Wide Web, and traffic grew from 300,000 hits on launch day to more than 80 million per day by 1997. Yahoo used AltaVista search results exclusively from 1996 until the arrangement ended in 1998. After Compaq acquired Digital Equipment Corporation in January 1998, AltaVista became part of Compaq. In 1999, Compaq spun off the service, redesigned it as a web portal, and sold 83 percent to CMGI. AltaVista later returned to a search-focused design. Overture Services acquired it in February 2003, and Yahoo acquired Overture in July that year. In June 2013, the AltaVista domain redirected to Yahoo Search.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHeart\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eDiameter, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.21\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e2.80\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 100% white ceramic construction — strong and durable\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Double-sided print with matte finish option\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Golden hanging string included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- UV-decorated for lasting color\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in white or gold gift packaging (single ornament per pack)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Use a microfiber cloth to gently remove any dust or dirt build-up.
