Archie is the first search engine in the world, created in 1990 by Alan Emtage, a student at McGill University in Montreal.

Archie is short for "Archives" but the programmer had to conform to UNIX standards of short names.The program downloaded the directory listings of all the files located on public anonymous FTP (File Transfer Protocol) sites, creating a search able database of filenames.

The first few hundred web sites began in 1993 and most of them were at colleges, but long before most of them existed came Archie. Archie helped solve this data scatter problem by combining a script-based data gatherer with a regular expression matcher for retrieving file names matching a user query. Essentially Archie became a database of web filenames which it would match with the users queries.

While Archie indexed computer files, "Gopher" indexed plain text documents. Gopher was created in 1991 by Mark McCahill at the University of Minnesota. (The program was named after the school's mascot). Because these were text files, most of the Gopher sites became Web sites after the creation of the World Wide Web.

Two other programs, "Veronica" and "Jughead," searched the files stored in Gopher index systems. Veronica (Very Easy Rodent-Oriented Net-wide Index to Computerized Archives) provided a keyword search of most Gopher menu titles in the entire Gopher listings. Jughead (Jonzy's Universal Gopher Hierarchy excavation And Display) was a tool for obtaining menu information from various Gopher servers.
