I searched on Altavista after a long time (oh, for no other reason than the fact that Google said I could also try my searches on Altavista, Lycos, Yahoo, etc.) and I was surprised how much the search results resembled Google’s.

I revisited AltaVista after Google suggested alternative search providers and was surprised to find that their results now closely resemble Google's. It reflects a significant shift in how search engines have standardized their ranking outputs.
