WWWW Computing Abbreviation

World Wide Web Worm

The World Wide Web Worm (WWWW) was one of the first search engines for the World Wide Web (WWW). Some argue that it was the first search engine, although it was not released until March 1994, when a number of other search engines had become publicly available by then. It was developed in September 1993 by Oliver McBryan at the University of Colorado as a research project.
