The popular public search engine Excite began life as a project called Architext created by six Stanford undergraduates in February 1993. Their idea was to use statistical analysis of word relationships in order to provide more efficient searches through the large amount of information on the Internet. Their project was fully funded by mid-1993. Once funding was secured, they released a version of their search software for webmasters to use on their own web sites. The software today is called Excite for Web Servers.
