FAST Search / AllTheWeb and AltaVista (http://www.alltheweb.com)

FAST (now called Fast Search and Transfer) is a Norwegian company that specializes in search and filter technology solutions. Some time ago it built the AllTheWeb search engine. In 2003, AltaVista and AllTheWeb were bought out by the Overture engine, the second being bought from FAST Search. Overture, in its turn, was purchased by Yahoo!. It is through this route that AllTheWeb has joined the Yahoo! family of search engines. As a result, AllTheWeb‘s spider is no longer crawling the Web, and you can no longer submit to the engine. Its XML feed and paid inclusion programs have been changed over to Yahoo! Search Marketing programs. Submitting to Yahoo! Search (and getting indexed there) will get your pages in AltaVista, Yahoo! Web Results, AllTheWeb, Live Search, HotBot and other engines.

AltaVista (http://www.altavista.com) was once a big player in the search industry. Until about seven years ago they could claim to be the most used search engine. Since that time, this engine has lost its independence and much of its popularity. Nowadays, it’s sending very little traffic to websites. As with AllTheWeb, it was purchased by Yahoo together with Overture.
