TRY to make a joke,... like maybe WHYTHIS was still using AOL Search (and the "humor" would be that AOL died years ago).. With a modicum of research, using Google as MYQUEST suggested, I learn that, in fact ...
"On June 23, 2015, AOL was acquired by Verizon Communications for $4.4 billion. On May 3, 2021, Verizon announced it would sell Yahoo and AOL to private equity firm Apollo Global Management for $5 billion. On September 1, 2021, AOL became part of the new Yahoo! Inc".
So, not only am I shocked that Verizon thought that AOL was worth more than fifty bucks, but that AOL still existed! I even used "AOL Search", and found the name of the business via the phone number. Imagine that! In 2024, you can still find things with AOL, but first you have to try.
From Mr Wizard to Neil deGrasse Tyson, the joy of discovery never ends.
