Matchmaking Search Results (2001)
What results did a search for matchmaking yield in a search engine in 2001? Obviously, not that many. Online matchmaking wasn’t even a twinkle in online startups’ eyes and there were less websites overall. A search for matchmaking in Google only resulted in 116,000 search results in 2001. The top 10 results are either sites that no longer exist or not quite online matchmaking as we know it today.
How do we know? Google has built itself a time machine to celebrate its 10th birthday and set up a search engine based on the 2001 index, which you can use to google yourself, Paris Hilton or, should you wish to do so, matchmaking. We didn’t even exist back then 
, Paris Hilton was a Hotel in the capital of France 
) and online matchmaking was practically unheard of.
be2 matchmaking was founded in 2004, which is why it doesn’t show up in 2001 search results.
