AllTheWeb Search Results

AllTheWeb is primarily an algorithmically based search engine. To list well in AllTheWeb it is important to use appropriate keywords throughout the page copy and especially in the page title. Since Yahoo! purchased AllTheWeb, it has added new features to allow more specific file type searches and quick domain statistics such as last updated and whois. AllTheWeb receives all of its main or organic listings from Yahoo! and its sponsored listings from Overture.

Unlike many other search sites, AllTheWeb provides you with the tools you need to find exactly what you are looking for, and includes some of the most sophisticated advanced search features available online.

AlltheWeb and FAST Search

AllTheWeb used to be owned by a company called FAST, or FAST Search and Transfer, and was used to showcase the company's web search technology. That is why you still find AllTheWeb referred to as FAST or FAST Search.

In February 2003, Overture acquired WiseNut for $100 million, and not long after, Overture snapped up AllTheWeb for about $140 million. ALLTheWeb later become Yahoo's property when Yahoo bought Overture. It no longer has any connection or affiliation with FAST.
