Infoseek

Infoseek (also known as the "big yellow") was an American internet search engine founded in 1994 by Steve Kirsch. Infoseek was originally operated by the Infoseek Corporation, headquartered in Sunnyvale, California. Infoseek was bought by The Walt Disney Company in 1999, and the technology was merged with that of the Disney-acquired Starwave to form the Go.com network. History Infoseek launched in January 1994 as a pay-for-use service. The service was dropped in August 1994 and Infoseek was relaunched as Infoseek search in February 1995.
