recall.archive.org launched.

Quick update to point out that the Internet Archive's archival search engine, Recall, has just been launched - it allows you to search for how popularity of items changes over time! Pretty cool - especially as it's searching over 11,094,924,000 pages from as far back as 1996. It's over at recall.archive.org right now. Yay.

The best search result I've found so far? Tomb Raider - this actually works great, in that you can see peaks around the videogame release dates for Tomb Raider 2, Tomb Raider III (also called 'The Last Revelation', see a similar, but bigger peak for that at the same time!), and then Tomb Raider 2 returns in 2003, since the movie sequel (using the same keyword as the earlier game) was in production/near release.
