Talk:Archie (search engine)

First?
The "first search engine ever invented"? In 1990? Doubtful.

The first *Internet* search engine ever invented? Perhaps, but seems unlikely.

archie description
Do we really need a full description of all the characters of a comic which is only slightly related? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.144.94.150 (talk) 02:25, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

I've just listened to a radio interview with the guy who created this (BBC Radio 4- should be a podcast) and he's said that it had "nothing to do with the cartoon character". It was simply archive without the v. I'm going to remove the offending passage. 94.195.5.216 (talk) 09:47, 7 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I concur but I think it should be mentioned as a common misapprehension - the article comment was unreferenced in any case. -- John (Daytona2 · Talk ·  Contribs) 09:59, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

"Archie, in the current day is a well known term used by Chester University Professor, Graham Logan." What the heck does that mean? Seaniekaye (talk) 16:31, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Current status (2024)
The archie server in Poland was closed down last year. A new server was setup in early 2024 at hobbes.serialport.org and is accessible via a web interface at https://archie.serialport.org/, instead of the original telnet interface. SV1XV (talk) 10:00, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
