First post!
Apparently Google has recently added a couple of features to its search box. Namely, calculator and units conversion. When I noticed that I thought, “Damn, where did I see that before? That’s right, on AlltheWeb.com.” As far as I know, back in April or May, when I added these features to AlltheWeb, it was the first search engine to have those. Of course Google picked up the idea and made some things better, but for what it’s worth, we were first.

And I had a calculator tool on my search box around September 2001
but I removed it a few months ago.
Yes AlltheWeb was first. I won’t accuse you of stealing from Google if you borrow some of their calc ideas in return
On Webmaster World, it was pointed out that http://futureboy.homeip.net/frinkdocs/ does a lot more even than Google’s does. Why not add currency conversion, time zones, etc. before Google?

. I forgot you weren’t working there any more.

Damn straight alltheweb was first. It was also first with news search and image search. If only someone would have invested the $$$ into it a few years ago…..
