Gigablast Adds Direct Links To The Wayback Machine
If you think we mention the Gigablast on a regular basis, you’re right. This general web engine is the work of sole proprietor Matt Wells who is constantly adding new search options while at the same time enlarging the database. Today, we can report that all urls retrieved via Gigablast now contain direct links to The Wayback Machine archive. These links are labeled as “older copies” and will automatically check if archived versions of the url exist. Gigablast also caches a copy of each page it crawls onto its own server. However, unlike The Wayback Machine, Gigablast’s cached version is updated each time the page is recrawled. This new option can be a big time saver.
