What is WebCrawler?

WebCrawler is a search engine, and one of the oldest surviving search engines on the web today. For many years, it operated as a metasearch engine. WebCrawler was the first web search engine to provide full text search.

WebCrawler was highly successful early on. At one point, it was unusable during peak times due to server overload. It was the second most visited website on the internet in February 1996, but it quickly dropped below rival search engines and directories such as Yahoo!, Infoseek, Lycos, and Excite in 1997.

In 2018, WebCrawler was redesigned from scratch and its logo was changed.
