How the fuck do you search for old stuff on the internet?

I'm trying to find one of those early 2000's, possibly late 90's inventor websites, basically the guy was posting his ideas on maglev track switches, lots of cgi, very 90/2000's (dark background, etc)

It doesn't work perfectly though, but using the custom range function might be of some help, assuming you don't know about it already.

I've been backing up my favorite websites after their owners got vaxxed and started going AFK.

I check this site >>1488516
But it usually has newer sites that simply look old because they don't use JavaScript. Mostly I just use
wayback machine on archive.org

If you have an old URL, you might enter it into either the Internet Wayback Machine or a european site that has been archiving webpages.

Internet Wayback Machine
https://web archive org

Archive Today
https://archive ph

Copyright holders and Internet Reputation Managers have been filing copyright and other lawsuits to get content removed from archival sites. So the material might be there, but is now inaccessible. Note that the Wayback Machine is a service of the Internet Archive which is woke. It refuses to archive many right wing sites or information sites that may contribute towards racial or news about DEI problems.

Copyright holders have been going after the Internet Archive because it also archives sites that may have copied sections of copyrighted works without paying royalties. Fair use allows for reviews and small quotations, but for large sections of quotes or of certain research material, the rights of the copyright holder may have been technically violated.

There have been various lawsuits. One of the lawsuits is starting to show a trend where the Internet Archive is going to lose. If the loss sets a precedent, then other copyright holders can cite that court case as a reason why their works should be removed as well because they didn't give advance permission to have large sections quoted or research materials displayed.

The Internet Archive Is Losing the Lawsuit

It gets censored out. Reputation management companies have made successful lawsuits against Internet Archive to remove stuff from public searching. It's financially cheaper to acquiesce than to fight to keep the material available, and the Internet Archive runs on a lean budget.
