  Aliweb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aliweb (Archie Like Indexing for the Web) can be considered the first Web search engine, as its predecessors were either built with different purposes (as it is the case with the World Wide Web Wanderer) or were literally just indexers (as Archie, Gopher, Veronica and Jughead).
Aliweb allowed users to submit the location of an index file on their site, which enabled the search engine to include their webpages and add a user written page description and keywords.
Aliweb is currently undergoing a total rewrite of the programing code and is set to relaunch in 2007 as a competitor to Goodle, MSN, and Yahoo.

The aliweb 1-3 and cstr 1-3 sets were ranked fifth and sixth respectively, and on average received positive ratings that were higher than the midpoint on the scale used by the participants.
aliweb 2-3 has already proved to be the most variable of the sets, and performed much better when its individual phrases were measured than when they were considered as a group.
The effect was less evident for aliweb 1-3, cstr 1-3, and each of the cstr-kf phrase sources, all of which tended to be rated less highly by the human assessors.

 Providing Hyper-Information on the Internet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Aliweb regularly retrieves all these files, and combines them into a searchable database.
The files describing WWW sites are very small compared to the sum of the documents on each WWW server, so there is relatively little network resource consumption.
There are no tools (yet) for generating the description files, so a lot of human effort is involved, thus limiting the chances of the Aliweb approach becoming very popular.
