Since the beginning of the world wide web, I've been tracking the effects of search engines. Without doubt, there are 3 search engine companies that have always been leaders -- Yahoo, Infoseek and Alta Vista. Though both Yahoo and Infoseek stocks soared, Alta Vista has yet to take-off. An added bonus: when you buy stock in Alta Vista you get free stock in Compaq Computer and Digital Equipment, too.
The stock symbol on the NYSE is CPQ (Compaq Computer Corp.)
