Overview: Lycos is a large scale search engine and web portal that has increased its services beyond searching the web
Lycos first started in early 1994 as a University project which
later became a commercial operation and has expanded to a large scale search
engine. Only this year did Lycos make the shift from being an exclusive
search engine to also offering directory-based listings. Last year, Lycos acquired
Wired Digital's Hotbot and continues to operate it under the same name.
