Lycos Switched to Inktomi
At the beginning of this month Lycos switched from AllTheWeb to Inktomi. The Inktomi database powered search appears to be using the same database used to power the AltaVista and AllTheWeb websites. The Inktomi database is a subset of the overall search database used to power Yahoo!.
In addition to being powered by Inktomi, some of the top search results at Lycos come from the LookSmart directory. (source: Search Engine Showdown)
