Alta Vista used to be an HP company back in the mid 90's when HP bought
out DEC who developed it. HP hired a guy from Dell to run it and he had
no Idea how to run a software company. So all the developers jumped ship
in the late 90's sealing its doom to be a could have been. Yahoo then
took over through a series of takeovers.

p.s. to find privacy, censoring, and human rights objections to

by yahoo (Evidently altavista is now a yahoo subsidiary. I thought
it was an HP or Xerox -- wrong *)
