Here are a few earlier threads that I’m aware of where the issue of Internet History is a major component of the discussion:

========================================
Join in on any of those threads where you feel comfortable or HERE if there’s another angle worth pursuing.
Here’s a possible topic to explore. I don’t recall a similar discussion thread on it.
Other than Bing vs. Google vs. Yahoo which Search Engine do you use most often? Are there others even more preferable to you? Do you use all three for different searches depending on the specifics of what you’re looking for?
In my case, it was Yahoo! from the very start and I have remained a loyal user in spite of some real complaints over the years. I do have the other two at the top of the page in my Favorites Bar and do occasionally resort to them if the Yahoo! Search leaves me with questions or hopes for a better hit.
Others I have used in the past, and still do in situations where the BGY team doesn’t get me what I’m hoping to find, are:
Dogpile
Lycos
Mamma
Excite
WebCrawler
and others to a lesser extent – or I just don’t remember their names…
