Yet More on AltaVista

At least for the moment, I've discovered that AltaVista's simple search has changed in a couple additional ways.

  • Full Boolean searching and the NEAR operator now seems to work on the AltaVista simple search, as long as all the operators are in upper case. Nesting works as well
  • Stop words can now be searched, as long as they are not just searched by themselves.

The AltaVista Review and the Search Engine Chart pages have been updated.
