Lycos

Back to main page!

Lycos was one of the first really big search engines and claimed more indexed pages than any other search engine. It can't claim to have the most sites indexed anymore, Northern Light holds that honor for now. But Lycos is probably the best very large robot base search engine. It filters and ranks responses to inquiries more affectively than most large robots. Lycos, like other major robot base engines has also created a hierarchical directory structure, but its main strength is in the large easy to search database created by its robots. Lycos has been enhanced by the addition of Point Communcation's ratings and descriptions of websites. Lycos presents a simple interface with stronger search capabilities hidden away on another page. These other options are all available on this page. Lycos also provides help. Lycos has an advance search page.
