Google lets users search like it’s 2001

As part of Google’s ongoing 10th birthday celebration, the company is providing access to a  2001 version of the Google search index, allowing users to search the Web circa January 2001. Although Google is officially celebrating its 10th birthday this year, due to various “technical reasons,” the oldest index it could easily access was the 2001 version.

Google has worked with the Internet Archive project, which is aiming to preserve digital media to link with its cache of the pages from 2001 so users can see full versions of old Web pages.
