###Intro### Altavista used to be the world's largest search engine, but then it went portal, and then it wasn't. A company then bought it and turned it into a Google style search engine, but with MP3 and video search. However, the new additions didn't return. ###So what's it use?### The MP3 search is useful, ...  Read the complete review

AltaVista is less useful than it once was. You may have noticed a lot of search engines featuring paid listings recently, and even a number of them that only include paid-for entries. AltaVista has more or less joined their ranks, although it doesn't like to say this outright. There are two prices for listing, £299 and £149 at the ...  Read the complete review

Altavista.com is one of the better web search engines out there, it’s not the best but not far from it. The AltaVista search engine has been split into a U.K edition, which is far more useful to us Brits requiring information in out language. While including the whole world would give us a larger result (Information) it would give ...  Read the complete review

Altavista is managed by 'Altavista The Search Company', based in the US. For many years this search engine has been the number one throughout the world. It has evolved from a simple meta-engine to a portal of directories, databases and banks of graphics and the like. Altavista could be described as a portal too, providing news ...  Read the complete review

AltaVista is my favourite search engine by a long way. It's neat interface makes it an easy to use search engine. I far prefer it to Yahoo, which I never use because of its messy design. Yahoo looks like it was neat once but things have just continuously been added over the original design - and also I find the text size too big. ...  Read the complete review

When I first started setting up websites on the net, I was well up for banner advertising and anything else to generate a few pennies. One of the first 'money earners' (HA! that's a joke, right!) I came across was AltaVista, which was a little bit different from the norm as it actually provided a useful bit of added value for your ...  Read the complete review

In my opinion Altavista is definately one of the best search engines available. Not only Altavista. com which gives you worldwide results but www.altavista.co.uk which gives you uk specific results. (Although there is a check box on the uk site which allows you to search worldwide) Altavista allows you to search in a variety of ...  Read the complete review

AltaVista is your one-stop fun-shop for all your Internet needs. It's a search engine, shopping portal, free stuff and rewards site, and a bunch of other things that would take you a few years to be able to sort through. As a search engine, AltaVista is the cream of the crop. While any search engine sorts through the rubbish on the ...  Read the complete review

Do people call this a search engine because everytime I search for something it gives me a list of things that have no relevance in my search at all. I have to admit though, I think this must be the oldest of all the search engines out there. People say this has a really BIG library of sites and that generally is true but if you want a accurate ...  Read the complete review

I use altavista.com quite often but once you use it for a long period you'll soon realise it isn't that good. Even though it's one of the biggest search engines, but that doesn't mean it's worthy of being the best. Unfortunately it's BAD to be such a big search engine reasons are because when you type something in ...  Read the complete review

Altavista is the only search engine I know of with the ablity to search specifically for pictures / movies of whatever you want to find, I wish more people would use it to find pictures for presentations etc.. instead of lame clip-art pics. There are ocassionally some inereting links on there aswell and it's advanced search functions ...  Read the complete review

I first started surfing the web with regularity in the Summer of '96. It was a technology that was new to most of us, and it took me awhile to even grasp the fact that there were lots of different search engine options, all of them using different search engine technologies and returning somewhat different results. Among the first engines I ...  Read the complete review
