First Web-Search Engine?

Didn't OpenText have the first web search engine? This is probably worth a mention.

I'm pretty sure they're responsible for the Yahoo! search engine...

This was way back in the day when Yahoo was still run from a trailer somewhere... And Yahoo wasn't even a "real" search engine yet. OpenText had a crawler and a search form with some basic boolean operations and it actually worked ;)

Yes, they did, circa 1995 - 1998, but they weren't THE first. I still have my old RADARLOVE.COM search form for them. At one time, they were the fastest responding engine, competing with Alta Vista. This was, yes, back when Yahoo! was only a static "chapter listing" of the Web (you had to submit your site/page to them for consideration). They were also one of the early companies promoting "intranets" by using Web technology (1995).

I'm adding a note or two about this in the search engine and Livelink sections. -- David Spalding 19:01, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

== merger == [www.drakecircus.com]

Since InfoDesign Corporation does not seem to be notable as such, and has been tagged with a notability warning for quite a while, I am proposing to merge the content here.

The content has been merged. --B. Wolterding 13:54, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any way to undo this merger? InfoDesign was a standalone company with its own history and should not be a dominate item in the history of Open Text, instead there are about 7 other companies at the same time that should also be noted. Odesta for example is also in the same "history". I think Odesta and InfoDesign should have their own entries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.229.58.65 (talk) 09:45, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
