The death of AltaVista and AlltheWeb: "The death of AltaVista and AlltheWeb
Yahoo! will end the development of the AltaVista and AlltheWeb search engines, but will keep the sites."

AltaVista and AlltheWeb search engines will cease to exist in the very near future. The sites will remain, but their search technology will be replaced by the new Yahoo! search engine... Yahoo! will keep the two sites as experimental portals. Hence there will be differences as regards the support for advanced searching etc. But the core technology will be new...

So, say goodbye to the old search engine landscape dominated by Google, AltaVista, Ask Jeeves and AlltheWeb, and say hello to the new constellation: Google, Yahoo!, Ask Jeeves and (soon to be) the new MSN search engine.
