Before Google came along as a search engine you would use yahoo search or Ask.com or even Archie search engine.

When the internet first came online there was no search engine in the very beginning and you had to use commands etc to interact with the internet.

When I got the internet I had AOL internet which was dialup on an old Windows 98 computer and used AOL search back then.

Google was available but I didn't know about it.

The internet was very slow back then and you had to wait forever for an image to download and I could not imagine trying to watch Youtube videos on AOL dialup as that would be very painful and slow to watch it load.

I'm glad that DSL came along and now Fiber Optic which I have.
