Galaxy - 1994


Posted in History of Search Engines | Search Engines 101 Posted By SEO Expert
 

Launched in January 1994, Galaxy.com was the first searchable Internet directory. Galaxy was created as part of the Einet division at the MCC Research Consortium at the University of Texas. The original initiative was to develop tools for large-scale directory services to support electronic commerce.

The ownership of Galaxy has changed hands numerous times through a series of mergers and acquisitions. Today Galaxy.com is owned by Logika Corporation, of Chicago and has a directory of more than 3.2 million listings, across more than 680,000 categories.
