AlltheWeb was an Internet search engine. It originated from FTP Search, the doctorate thesis project of Tor Egge at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Egge began the work in 1994, and it later led to the creation of Fast Search & Transfer (FAST), founded on July 16, 1997. AlltheWeb launched in mid-1999. It was acquired by Yahoo in 2003. Yahoo shut it down in 2011.
