Lycos: Purpose
Purpose
Lycos is a research program in providing information retrieval and
discovery in the WWW, using a finite memory model of the web to guide
intelligent, directed searches for specific information needs. Lycos
currently implements basic information retrieval on rich abstracts
of Web documents.
The next experiment is to add the ability to do best-first search
starting with the finite document set to find specific topics. Until
then, you can cast around using the
search function.
