GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.

Bring an enduring name from the early web into your everyday rotation. AltaVista started as a Digital Equipment Corporation research project in Palo Alto and launched its public search service in December 1995. Its quick crawler and searchable index helped users navigate a fast-growing internet, while its later journey through portal redesigns and changing owners reflected the era’s shifting technology landscape. This quarter zip pullover honors that distinctive search history and the service remembered by longtime web explorers.

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.
