try: LYCOS.com -one of the first public search engines -most visited site in 1999 -no AI integration -no ads, their link about how to run ads doesn't even work💪 -bought angelfire and tripod, keep sites online people made in 1997 -4 years ago a user on hackernews described its search as "pretty good"
Lycos when asked how it's going to match what Google and Microsoft and Facebook are doing

Huh. Just tried it - there are ads. But they're easy to ignore and the search results were actually pretty good?
Naturally I looked (that's how dire the search situ has become). No obvious "about" page and the home page helpfully shows the weather at what it assumes is your location but the button to change to celsius does nothing. 😹
Unfortunately now owned by some shady ad conglomerate which is "allegedly" guilty of financial shenanigans.
