Although I notice when I do an AV search now it says Yahoo. They bought them maybe?

AltaVista is a web search engine owned by Yahoo!. AltaVista was once one of the most popular search engines but its popularity declined with the rise of Google. In 2010, Yahoo! announced that it plans to discontinue the site.

I generally use Scroogle or AltaVista. Although I notice when I do an AV search now it says Yahoo. They bought them maybe?-MilesAhead (July 14, 2011, 12:27 AM)

long ago if memory serves right, Yahoo used AltaVista's search index then they bought them outright when they bought AV's parent company Overture.

There is also Ixquick (which has been talked about here before I think) - it's fast, private and more easily configurable than Scroogle - I like it !
Read the About page for all details.
