AltaVista was an early innovator in the world of Internet^[4] search engines. Established in 1995 in Palo Alto, California, by researchers from Digital Equipment Corporation, it was the first to offer a searchable, full-text database on the World Wide Web^[1]. It quickly garnered popularity, achieving 80 million hits per day within two years. AltaVista introduced several groundbreaking features such as multimedia search and CAPTCHA technologie^[3], playing a vital part in popularizing web search. It was also a pioneer in online translation^[2] services with its Babel Fish application. However, competition from Google^[5] led to a decline in its popularity. Acquired by Yahoo in 2003, it was eventually shut down in 2013. Despite its closure, AltaVista’s contributions to internet search technology continue to be recognized today.

Les utilisateurs peuvent localiser ces ressources et y accéder grâce à des localisateurs de ressources uniformes (URL).
