In honor of their 10th anniversary, Google has released a fun little nugget:  their search engine as it was in 2001.

The logo is the 2001 version.  And the search results are the same as they were in January 2001.  Try searching something recent like “Palin” or “Wii” or “iPhone.”

Oh, and Google partnered with the Internet Archive (also known as the Way Back Machine) to make all the links point to the actual 2001 versions of the web page.  So you can search by brand name using this thing and see what major companies’ websites looked like 7 years ago.

It’s terribly fun seeing how far we’ve come and how much has become commonplace that simply wasn’t on the radar back then.

I don’t think this will last forever, so enjoy it while you can.
