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 where literally just indexers (as Archie, Gopher and Veronica). It was conceived in 1993 and first presented at the First International Conference on the World-Wide Web in Geneva in 1994. Therefore it preceded WebCrawler by about a year. Aliweb allowed users to submit their webpages and add the page description with which they wanted them to be indexed. This empowered webmasters, who could define the terms that would lead users to their pages and also avoided setting bots (as the Wanderer) which used up bandwidth.
Contrary to ask.com searching Aliweb was very civilized.
