from the Teoma search engine that
it owns (see below)
|
|

|

search engines, indexing 110
million pages. Powered by
Inktomi, new submissions appear
to be taking two weeks or longer

search engines, Lycos appears to
be moving towards becoming a
directory and is using the Open

ignores meta tags in
pages.

crawler-based search engine owned

index of the web than its rival
crawler-competitors Google,
AllTheWeb.com, Inktomi and

and Teoma's won praise for its

from the directory through an
open license
arrangement.
|
|

|
|
AltaVista
- This is a popular search engine
with one of the largest databases
on the web, indexing more than
350 million pages. It was once
the google of its day but later
attempted to turn into a portal
site. Over time, relevancy
dropped, as did the freshness of
AltaVista's listings and the
crawler's coverage of the web.
They are getting back on track
now and are focused on being a
search engine again.
|
|

|
|
Netscape
Search
- Owned by AOL Time
Warner, Netscape Search uses
Google for its main listings,
just as does AOL's other major
search site, AOL Search. The main
difference between Netscape
Search and Google is that
Netscape Search will list some of
Netscape's own content at the top
of its results. It's smarter to
just go right to google and cut
out the middle man.
