You’re kidding…right? From what I understand this is only a Yahoo search feed which explains why results are same.

Nothing to see here kids.

May want to read article: http://www.weba...m-for-yahoo-674.

“Update 6/16/08: Lycos PR Director has confirmed that Lycos is now using Yahoo! search and sponsored ad results.”

The words “Lycos” and “productive” don’t often appear in the same sentence.

Actually (just clicked through and visited Lycos for the first time in a year) those results are pretty damn good. Better than when I last visited, and just as good as the ones I remember. Thanks for tempting me to take another look.

“Remember Lycos? Well, believe it or not, they’re not dead yet.”

That made me laugh. I don’t think any search engine name besides Hotbot could be more irrelevant to the search wars going on today. Which is a shame, because I used to like Lycos – they seemed to have better (or at least, more comprehensive) search results than other search engines did up until a few years ago.

Why not? LYCOS Europe crashed and is selling all its products. And LYCOS iQ, a question&answer portal, is quite a bit popular in Germany and France.

Maybe they plan to re-sell the company…so they have to be active somehow and not dead…

What do you mean “another search engine”? Lycos was launched when Larry Page and Sergey Brin were both only 18 years old, 4 years before Google launched. If anything Google is “just another search engine” in this case.
