Search Google as if the Last 7 Years Never Happened

Search Google as if the Last 7 Years Never Happened
In honor of their tenth birthday, Google has brought back the oldest version of its search page it could, from 2001. The older design, with its thick letters and the goofy exclamation point, isn't just old school on the surface either. Searching the anniversary edition of Google brings back results from the 2001 search index. That means searching for "iPod" brings up results for "Image Proof of Deposit Document Processing System" and searching for "Switched" returns result for the "switched on classroom."

Why would you want to search the Internet from seven years ago? Who knows, but its actually kind of fun to see what things we've come to take for granted in under a decade. Just try searching for MySpace or YouTube. [From: TechCrunch]
