Thanks. Yes, I found this after I wrote my post. It even acknowledges
Digital as their creator. I also found a reference saying that Altavista
was the first full text indexed search engine on the net in around 1995.
Since I was a DEC user at the time, I used to use them exclusively, but
then DEC sold them (and later got bought out by Compaq and then HP) and
Google came along.

Regards,
Tony.
