Altavista was released in 1995, if you want them to discuss more than one search engine. It was the second one I recall ever using. (Yes, I am dating myself..)
I used NorthernLights and Altavista with Netscape around that time. I still miss Altavista. I routinely searched and pulled up articles I read four years previously in the first three hits. Yahoo bought Altavista but Yahoo Search isn't the same. Now I have a 2 TB drive and I just save everything I might possibly want to reference...anytime...ever...
