Bring a piece of early web history into your everyday rotation with this AltaVista Cotton Polo Shirt. AltaVista began as a search project from Digital Equipment Corporation researchers in Palo Alto, then opened to the public on December 15, 1995. Its fast Scooter crawler and TurboVista search database helped people explore a web that was growing by the day. A thoughtful pick for search-history fans, longtime internet users, or anyone who remembers when finding a page felt like a discovery.
AltaVista 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.
