I remember those days when searching for something on Lycos would bring up different results from AltaVista or whatever.

Apparently I'm the only one who liked Metacrawler.

Metacrawler was the best. 37.com was good too.

AltaVista

It was the most "accurate". Back in the day, search engines would return a lot of hits for sites that were nowhere near what you wanted. AltaVista was the most clutch for actually returning what you were looking for.
