ICQ had a powerful global search, you could search by nickname, real name, country, city, date of birth and so on.

Back in the day nicknames were still pretty unique.

Also had a search by interest feature if I remember right.

There were no programming classes back then at my school and I found someone, half way across the world, who patiently taught me programming everyday.

IT was great for dating around 2000. Search by gender, age, city, open conversation and try my luck. Ended up in ~4 year long relationship from random contacts.
