Going back to 1997 – they spider was quite active, competing with the giants of the day like infoseek |
I've heard that back in 1996, BackRub used so much bandwidth that wide swathes of Stanford students and staff had trouble accessing the internet. No pain, no gain. |
Well, there's beginning to everything. |
I've remembered that one of Google's April Fool's Day pranks included a SERP and tried to find other old search results pages. I couldn't find something older than 2000, so I continued to dig for more stuff about that year, which seemed to be very important for Google. |
Grrrreat post and happy to help! I can't help but think that as time goes by these details will be of more and more interest to folks. |
That logo has to be the first!
After further research www-pcd.stanford was migrated to infolab.stanford (http://infolab.stanford.edu/~page/google.gif) and last modified April 24, 1998.
The logo above is the same as: http://www.google.com/logos/carlpgoogle.gif see at: http://www.google.com/customlogos.html

Before backrub there was 'rankdex' |
I thought that was a search engine too but I've never seen it listed: http://www.robotstxt.org/db.html |
