Lycos is another of the more popular search engines and offers an extensive list of regional search services, particularly in Asia and Central and South America. Although it started out as a true search engine, today Lycos relies heavily on its directory services. Unfortunately, Lycos does not provide you with the number of results you obtain when you have done a search. Nevertheless, Lycos offers the most comprehensive set of Boolean search options and also has a nice feature called 'Lycos 50' which is a listing of Lycos's most popular web sites according to user searches. In addition, as with Google, Lycos offers a search funnelling facility where you can search within the list of results for a new keyword. Back to INTERNATIONAL SEARCH ENGINES
