World Wide Web Wanderer

World Wide Web Wanderer

The World Wide Web Wanderer, also referred to as just the Wanderer, was a Perl-based web crawler that was first deployed in June 1993 to measure the size of the World Wide Web. The Wanderer was developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Matthew Gray, who now works for Google. It was used to generate an index called the "Wandex" later in 1993, providing the first search engine on the web.
