Awesomeness.

http://www.google.com/search2001.html

You can search with results just as they were in January 2001...it's interesting seeing how much things have changed.

That makes me feel so old.  2001 doesn't feel like that long ago.

Would it make you feel younger if I told you I was in 7th/8th grade in 2001?

Yes, in fact, that's where I was.

Haha, "shoop da woop" yielded 68 results in 2001, but 185,000 today.

When was this site made? I looked it up on there and I couldn't find it

There are only 720 results for "The Orange Box," a whopping three for "Nintendo DS," and zero results for "YouTube."

Wow.

This site has only been up the last few years, but I can find references of the sites that came before it. It's odd to think that TDC has been around all this time, albeit in a different form.

This question got me wondering...

Your search - "Halo: Combat Evolved" - did not match any documents.

Also:

Your search - "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" - did not match any documents.

Your search - "Resistance: Fall of Man" - did not match any documents.

Your search - LittleBigPlanet - did not match any documents.

Oh my...

Those last ones were no-brainers though, they've been around forever. Halo's been around for a while though.

I wonder if there were any internet memes?

As for memes, when I searched for them, they either didn't show up at all (as in the case of lolcats and Rickroll), or similar, though completely unrelated, results showed up.

Dude.

Pokemon?

It's all about Pokemon Crystal, Pokemon 3 Movie, and the new Episodes from JOHTO.

Freaking hilarious.

I was like, in 5th grade.

Searched under Nintendo.

I wish they had an image search function. ... But it's still amusing to see that Pyramid Head doesn't have nearly an insane fanbase as he does now.

So far I actually haven't even seen a single page that actually has him in it. It's very odd.

It makes me feel like Im going back in time.

I also searched iphone, and didnt get squat.

It makes me wish I wouldve posted an entire site of things that would come out in 08, just so people would later find the Google01 sight and poo their pants.

Well, of course if you search something that uh, wasn't made in 2001 or earlier, you won't get squat. It's funny how the past works.
