The World Wide Web was born in November,1990,with the launch of the first Web server (and Web page)hosted at the CERN research facility in Switzerland.Not surprisingly, the purpose of the first Web page was to describe the World Wide Web project. At the time,no search engine was needed -you could literally read the entire contents of the World Wide Web in less than an hour.
1994 was a big year in the history of Web search. The first hierarchical directory, Galaxy,Was launched in January and, in April, Stanford students David File and Jerry Yang Created Yet another Hierarchical Officious Oracle, better known as Yahoo!
By the time the search engine was officially launched as Google in September 1998,it had already become a very popular player.
