Yahoo!

In computing, search engine for the World Wide Web, based on a catalogue of indexed resources. Yahoo!, for some time the only search engine on the Web, was created at Stanford University by post-graduate students David Filo and Jerry Yang.

The name – from Swift's Gulliver's Travels but found by searching a dictionary – is supposed to stand for Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle.

Although originally set up as a search engine, Yahoo! has been developed as a series of international portals. Its various sites are among the most visited on the Web.
