| Description: | AltaVista used to be a full pledged search engine. It had been awarded several search -related patents. But now, it uses the search results from Yahoo!. Their company vision is to provide relevant and useful information to Internet users. Although they are now purchased by Overture and they use Yahoo! search results, they do provide a very different interface to searches than Yahoo! Unlike the portal style of Yahoo!, AltaVista has a clean layout for anyone who is interested in searching the web for information. |
