A humorous Instagram post from the account “irishnostalgia” featuring a photo of an old-fashioned library card catalog—rows of wooden cabinets with hundreds of small drawers. Above the photo, bold text reads: “Who remembers the first search engine.” The caption adds, “…and after 15 minutes you find out that someone’s borrowed the source you were looking for! ..Come back next week!! 😭” The post is accompanied by hashtags related to books, libraries, and nostalgia.

Who remembers the first search engine?
