Archie is recognized as one of the earliest search engines, specifically designed for indexing and searching for files on the Internet. Developed in 1990 by Alan E. Hall and his team at McGill University in Canada, Archie was originally created to locate and retrieve data from FTP (File Transfer Protocol) sites, where many early internet users stored files for sharing.
