There's a powerful new way to dig up dead websitesA screenshot of the front page of Yahoo.com from September, 2001. The new search feature is not quite like Google, where all the text on each page on a website is indexed to help with searches. The Wayback Machine feature lets you search for an archived website's main page, although it does not have the capacity to enable searches for specific web pages on that site. Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle said that he, too, has struggled with the lack of keyword search availability in the Wayback Machine. But if you search for "geocities" in the test version of the Wayback Machine, the first result is geocities.com.
