Recalling JumpStation – the World’s first public Web search engine By most accounts, JumpStation was the first Web search engine that behaved, and appeared to the user the way current Web search engines do. Hosted at the University of Stirling in Scotland, it started indexing on 12 December 1993. The creator of the JumpStation search engine, Jonathon Fletcher, is a special guest of the event together with representatives of Google, Microsoft and Yahoo! on SIGIR 2013 panel, to recall Web search twenty years ago and discuss emerging trends in Web search today. The panel session will be chaired by Alan Smeaton of Dublin City University, who was also the General Chair of the SIGIR conference when it was held in Dublin in 1994. |
