Lycos

World-Wide Web A World-Wide Web index, served by CarnegieMellon University. It allows you to search on document title

and content for a list of keywords. Lycos is probably the

biggest such index on the web. By April 1995, the Lycos

database contained 2.95 million unique documents.

The Lycos database is built by a Web crawler that can bring

in 5000 documents per day. The index searches document title,

headings, links, and keywords it locates in these documents.

The Lycos servers are efficient but overloaded. Failure to

connect or "please try later" messages are common.
