Editing Archie (search engine) (section)

==Origin ==
Archie first appeared in 1986, while Emtage was the [[Systems management|systems manager]] at the [[McGill University School of Computer Science]]. His predecessor had attempted to persuade the [[institution]] to connect to the [[Internet]], but due to the expensive cost — roughly $35,000 per year for a sluggish link to [[Boston]] — it had been challenging to persuade the appropriate parties that the [[investment]] was worthwhile.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-07-09 |title=Article by Kevin Savetz (, ) |url=http://www.savetz.com/articles/ibj_bunyip.php |access-date=2023-03-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150709215925/http://www.savetz.com/articles/ibj_bunyip.php |archive-date=9 July 2015 }}</ref>

The name derives from the word "archive" without the 'v'. Emtage has said that contrary to popular belief, there was no association with the [[Archie Comics]].<ref>[[BBC Radio 4]] - [http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00nmz7x Saturday Live], 7 November 2009</ref> Despite this, other early Internet search technologies such as [[Jughead (search engine)|Jughead]] and [[Veronica (search engine)|Veronica]] were named after characters from the comics. [[Interarchy|Anarchie]], one of the earliest graphical FTP clients, was named for its ability to perform Archie searches.
