EXPLANATION
Archie
-
The first search engine - it searched FTP sites to create index of downloadable files
-
Due to limited space, only the listings were available and not for the contents for each site
- Archie is a tool for indexing FTP archives, allowing people to find specific files. It is considered to be the first Internet search engine.[2] The original implementation was written in 1990 by Alan Emtage, then a postgraduate student at McGill University in Montreal, and Bill Heelan, who studied at Concordia University in Montreal and worked at McGill University at the same time
