What is the name of first search engine?

The first few hundred web sites began in 1993 and most of them were at colleges, but long before most of them existed came Archie. The first search engine created was Archie, created in 1990 by Alan Emtage, a student at McGill University in Montreal.
 
There are now hundreds of different search engines and directories. Names like Yahoo, Magellan, Alta Vista, Excite, Infoseek, The WWW Worm, and of course, Lycos have become part of the Internet vocabulary. But none of the now popular search engines was the first. That honour went to Archie, an application created in 1990 by Alan Emtage.
