- HotBot
HotBot was one of the early
Internet search engine s and was launched in May1996 as a service ofWired Magazine . It was launched using a "new links" strategy of marketing, claiming to update its search database more often than its competitors. It also offered free webpage hosting, but only for a short time, and it was taken down without any notice to its users. Though competitive when it was acquired byLycos in1998 , HotBot has in recent years reduced its scope. Today the website is merely afront end for third-party search engineslyGo.com ,Yahoo.com , and MSN. It was one of the first search engines to offer the ability to search within search results.External links
