Archive.org now has a search engine that has crawled 11 billion pages of it's own web space. The search results are pretty low quality as it is 100% on-page based, but the really interesting thing is the graph of number of pages over time that match this search phrase. And the categorical matching. All in all, this definitely fits in the category of "pretty cool".

They stopped archiving sites right? I can't remember seeing anything new there.

It is an archive. The newest results are from August, 2002. Next month, they'll have September 2002.

Very useful to prove "first use" online...
