Microsoft Bing may take time to catch up with Google (if it can), however, there was a search engine that is said to have perfected the art of searching as well as Google, Open Text. But, this was till the company decided to abandon the search market!

In the mid-1990s, the hottest search engine technology was the Open Text Web Index. Open Text was reportedly lauded for its speed, accuracy, and comprehensiveness. The company in fact claimed to have indexed every word on the roughly 5 million documents that constituted the Web at that time.

In 1995, Yahoo too incorporated Open Text's search technology into its directory. However, two years after its partnership with Yahoo, Open Text abandoned search and moved into enterprise content management. Just another year, and Google made its entry and riding on the success of its search went on to become Internet's numero uno.
