Prasanth Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 Altavista has recently changed their searchengine to allow more competition with Google.com. It offers a whole set of new features, like searching through PDF documents, and more importantly got rid of the commercial portal thingie." Anyone remember when Alta Vista was the best search engine? http://slashdot.org/articles/02/11/10/1348...47.shtml?tid=95 http://www.av.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessterw Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 I have to agree that the redesign was needed as far as the focus of the site and it's nice that they're getting back to the search engine... but geez, it looks like some two-bit elementary school artist looked at Google and tried to copy it using ugly pixelated graphics. The old design was attractive and really didn't need to be changed, just streamlined to fit with the refocus unto the search engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
