Introduce little explorers to AltaVista, the search service that helped people find their way across the early web. Launched in Palo Alto in 1995, it used a fast crawler named Scooter and an index built to make a growing online world easier to explore. This toddler tee celebrates a memorable chapter in internet history, from the first searchable pages to the 1997 arrival of Babel Fish. It is a thoughtful choice for families who enjoy sharing stories about how the web began.
AltaVista was created by researchers at Digital Equipment Corporation to demonstrate company hardware and improve access to files on its public network. Paul Flaherty proposed the project, Louis Monier programmed its web crawler, and Michael Burrows wrote its indexer. Based in Palo Alto, California, AltaVista publicly launched on December 15, 1995, with a fast, multi-threaded crawler called Scooter and a backend database called TurboVista. It offered a searchable web index and became the exclusive provider of search results for Yahoo in 1996. In 1997 it introduced Babel Fish, a web-based text and webpage translation service. Compaq acquired Digital Equipment Corporation in January 1998 and, as part of the transaction, acquired AltaVista. Compaq spun off AltaVista in January 1999 and repositioned it as a web portal; later that year, it sold 83 percent of the company to CMGI. After subsequent ownership changes, Overture Services acquired AltaVista in February 2003, and Yahoo acquired Overture in July 2003. AltaVista's traffic later fell amid competition from Google Search and other services. In June 2013, its domain redirected to Yahoo Search.
