- sheetjs 12y agoSometimes it helps to do a little research before trying to make a clever retort. Wikipedia has decent coverage of search engines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_search_engine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_search_engine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_web_search_engines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_web_search_engines Go.com, Lycos, AltaVista, Excite, Yahoo!, Dogpile, Ask.com, Yandex and many other search engines existed before Google entered. Most were wildly profitable.
