From Wikipedia
AltaVista (a contraction of alta + vista, meaning "high view" in the Spanish language), based in Palo Alto, California, was a web search engine. Launched in December 1995, it was the first "full text"/boolean searchable index of the World Wide Web. Web traffic increased steadily from 300,000 hits on the first day to more than 80 million hits per day by 1997, making it one of the most popular websites at the time. However, traffic plummeted shortly thereafter due to competition from Google Search and others. The site was acquired by Yahoo in 2003. In June 2013, the domain name was redirected to Yahoo Search. AltaVista is credited with implementing the first CAPTCHA to prevent fraudulent account registrations and internet bots from automatically adding pages to the AltaVista web index.
