Lycos Asks Jeeves to Search Web

Lycos announced Wednesday that it had selected search provider Ask Jeeves to replace Yahoo's Inktomi search engine across its Web properties. Lycos had already been using Ask Jeeves on some of its sites, but Wednesday's deal means the search engine will now appear service-wide.

"The Lycos brand is known for search and we're committed to re-establishing Lycos.com as a leading search site." said Adam Soroca, general manager of search services at Lycos. "Ask Jeeves' Teoma search technology will deliver outstanding results to users of our new search-centric experience at Lycos.com."
