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 tecnologia^[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.
