Oldest Search – Search for the oldest result on internet
Oldest Search is a custom google search that specifically targets the oldest entries available. I'm always curious about the first entries for certain data on the internet, it's a valuable perspective builder. I personally like news articles that have been digitized that were written in the pre-internet era. Unfortunately some results don't always work well because pages have been dated incorrectly. For example, searching "Covid" shows recent results. I launch new projects like this daily: small tools to increase human agency. I'm also very open to suggestions to improve!

In plain words
Oldest Search is a custom Google search engine designed to find the oldest available results on the internet. It targets digitized historical content, including pre-internet news articles and early web entries, helping users discover the original online information about topics. The tool is for researchers, historians, and curious people interested in how information first appeared online. However, results can be inconsistent due to incorrect date metadata on some pages.
