This is Russian search engine, appeared almost simultaneously with Yandex back in 1996.

Initially, it was actively developing and was quite popular, but gradually began to lose its position, until falling out TOP-10 search engines. The reasons for this, most likely, were the frequent resale of the search engine, as a result of which the attention of the owners was increasingly paid to marketing instead of improving the search engine from the technical side.

Since 2011, Aport began to use search algorithms Yandex, but still continued to function.

At the moment (March 2016) neither at the official address, nor at aliasam the search engine is unavailable, which allows us to draw conclusions about its untimely death.
