The altavista search engine is one of the most popular sites on the Internet and also one of the oldest ones (Altavista has been officially created in the year 1995).
Many things make this search engine different from the others.
For instance, the altavista image and video search was the first search engine to permit specific search requests for medias online.
The altavista babel fish translation system is also something unique to Altavista. Do you need to use altavista to translate something? If you do, note that it is effective for one single word or a group of a few words, but that is not accurate for a complete text.
You can consult an altavista dictionary called ''Babylon'' for your translating needs. Babylon permits to translate words from english to fourteen languages (french, german, chinese, italian, spanish, dutch, portuguese, russian, japanese, turkish, hebrew, arabic and swedish).
If you are looking for a search engine called altavista box sk, note that this site is not powered by altavista. The site you look for should rather be "astalavista".

Respect due to Blue Monster (by Hugh MacLeod). For legal reasons this is his little brother, Not-so-Blue Monster. Although Not-so-Blue Monster does look a little bit like 'Beavis' from Beavis and Butthead, don't ya think? Furthermore I must point out that Not-so-Blue Monster has nothing to do with the Blue Man Group or even 'blue Tobias' from Arrested Development. Or Blu Ray. Or Big Blue. Or the Blues Brothers. Even if Not-so-Blue Monster is also on a 'mission from god' :-)
