AlltheWeb is an Internet search engine that debuted in mid-1999. It grew out from FTP Search, Tor Egge’s doctorate thesis at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, which he started on in 1994, which in turn resulted in the formation of Fast Search and Transfer established on July 16, 1997. It was used primarily as a show piece site for FAST’s enterprise search engine.
astalavista.box.sk At its start in 1994, was one of the first search engines for computer security related information. In reality it turned out to be used as search engine for security exploits, software for usage in hacking and cracking and different keygenerators and software cracks. The site is also known for referencing things such as spyware and viruses. Because of this, the website is known to possibly contain data, links, downloadable files, and information some users would consider spyware, adware, or other unwanted programs.
AOL Inc. (NYSE: AOL), formerly known as America Online is an American global Internet services and media company. The company was based in Northern Virginia from its founding until 2007.

The original search engine software was implemented by Gary Chevsky from his own design. Chevsky, Justin Grant, and others built the early AskJeeves.com website around that core engine. Three venture capital firms, Highland Capital Partners, Institutional Venture Partners, and The RODA Group were early investors
Cuil (pronounced /?ku?l/ “cool” according to the creators) is a search engine that organizes web pages by content and displays relatively long entries along with thumbnail pictures for many results. It claims to have a larger index than any other search engine, with about 120 billion web pages. It went live on July 28, 2008.

Cuil is managed and developed largely by former employees of Google, Anna Patterson and Russell Power. The CEO and co-founder, Tom Costello, has worked for IBM and others. The company has raised $33 million from venture capital firms including Greylock.
