lycos.co.uk

Where do I start with probably the most advertised of all the web portal, search engines of them all. This is quite hard as this website offers you so many different services it is nearly unbelievable! (well probably not unbelievable, just vast!). Here we go! ~~Searching~~ There are two ways of searching for things on Lycos the normal bog standard search facility and the directory format. The search facility on Lycos is quite good, the results ...
...is normal for a search result you get the link, some information about the website and the website URL. There is also an advanced search facility which allows you to search just The Web, UK and Ireland Sites, Tripod Homepages, Pictures, Sounds, Videos, Books or MP3 files. You can also refine the search for words or phrases that the results "should have", "must have" or "must not have". You can also determine which part you search the "entire document", ...

Review of lycos.co.uk

Lycos is an absolutely great site now and it has really developed over the last few years to be a strong contender with other main web domains such as Yahoo and Alta Vista. However, I now think that Lycos can not just compete with these sites but they have now developed into a very powerful web domain. In this opinion I do not wish to bore you with every single piece of information available from the web site but instead point out some of the key ...
...site is as strong and dominant as Yahoo. ********************** FREE SMS PHONE MESSAGING TO MOBILES ***************** This is the number one advantage Lycos has in the UK at the moment and if you are unaware of this service, I would be very surprised because I think thousands of people are now in regular use of this service. What makes Lycos more advantageous than other mobile phone messaging services is that there is no sign up stage to send a ...

Review of lycos.co.uk

Lycos.co.uk has a dishonest customer service - Trevor Day The following was happened on 20 to 23 December 2007. I was a customer of lycos.cop.uk and decide to leave them forever after this bad experience. I have a domain signup with them and was not allowed to point my domain to other server although they did provide the function. Trevor Day told me the cheap service that I have got from other providers were not capable, not lycos.co.uk faults. ...

Review of lycos.co.uk

I always considered Lycos first and foremost as a Search Engine and have been using it, aswell as Yahoo, for this purpose frequently. Just today I decided to explore the Lycos site thoroughly and I must say I was very impressed. The range and variety of features offered is really quite amazing and very interesting and useful. I will try and list some of the sections that I covered today for the benefit of those of you who do not already know. ...

Some of the excellent functions offered are: -You will be able to open attachments directly in your browser and view them much faster. -Unlimited attachment size will make the sending and receiving of emails really easy. -15 MB storage will give you tons of space in your mailbox.

Lycos. co. uk is a very useful search engine. It is very quick and will bring up accurate searches, instead of the usual irrevelant searches. It is very user-friendly, as it is not very difficult to use. The website itself is quite decorative and quite pleasing to the eye. I also quite like the symbol for lycos with the dog's nose supposedly finding everything and being able to search for even the hardest things to find. If you want to find an exact ...

Review of lycos.co.uk

Lycos for me is second best to Altavista. Lycos is a Robot driven search engine which basically is a search engine that uses a robot (also known as a spider, worm, wanderer or crawler) to automatically collect sites for their index. They are different from subject directories/trees which are hierarchical and rely on people to add sites to their index. The term "Lycos" comes from the arachnid family Lycosidae, which are large ground spiders that are ...
...running rather than in a web. Lycos lives up to its name. Rather than catching its "prey" (URLs on a server), Lycos uses a modern scheme to skip from sever to server in Webspace. The secret of Lycos search technique lies in its random choices created by user preferences. Lycos starts with a given URL(Uniform Resource Locator) and collects the information from the resource, including: Title Headings and Subheadings 100 most "weighty" words (using ...

Review of lycos.co.uk

Not my usual search engine, I stumbled across Lycos by accident and I was pleasantly surprised. It seems very reliable, maybe not producing so many listings as some others but I don't always want 50 odd pages!! It seems very user friendly, if I can use it anyone can!! Results were quick far quicker than some I have used and most of the pages are current and available ,there is nothing worse than finding dead links all the time, it may have been found ...

Review of lycos.co.uk

Yahoo was always my favourite search engine and imthink that was because it was highly publicised. I think it is a really good search engine, but there was this one time when i just couldn't get what i was looking for and a friend said to me "just look at another search engine, try Lycos" i replied no, nothing can be as good as yahoo. I was wrong. I eventually used Lycos and found exactly what i was looking for. Lycos is definetly more accurate and ...

Review of lycos.co.uk

Lycos.com is an essential search engine for anyone who really wants to be efficient for sourcing for info on the web. Lycos, in my opinion returns much more accurate as well as many more sites as compared to say yahoo.com or altavista.com. Not only are the sites more relevant, there are also less dead links as compared to these other 2 sites. I also like lycos's style of presentation of the links, with relevant web categories appearing first to ...

Review of lycos.co.uk

Lycos wasnt my first choice of search engines but i gave it a crack once because i went to check out there free SMS service. What can I say about the actual search engine section? Well it certainly gets the job done solidly and always gives a good amount of reasonable results although as with any search engine theres still the legendary mixture of complete cobblers in there. As for the layout? Well I quite like it. Theres the standard search box ...
...this though theres a handy box which reports on some latest news and even better theres a section which gives you links to the Lycos services, some of which are very good. Lycos deal in their own chat, their own free web based e-mail service, free internet access, online games and also amongst others their most popular one with me, the free SMS mobile text message service. Like DooYoo's you type in the message it tells you how many characters youve ...

I must admit to not actually using Lycos much before today. I wanted to try it out though, because who knows, it might have been great. What I found was not really great, but it was definitely good. I was searching in particular for information on the Severn Estaury. Results from searches came back to me pretty quickly, and it didn't take long at all to find what I really needed. So that I could get a little more used to it though, I stayed online ...
...offers. The list is quite impressive. Sites like Yahoo might offer roughly the same things, but Lycoslists them in such a way, that it just looks more impressive. They do however, have features that appear (at this time), to be unique to Lycos. The free text messaging to mobile phones (sms), I'm sure will be pulling in plenty of new users. Its an excellent added extra, when you consider the number of mobile users around these days. The only problem ...

Lycos is one of the best sites on the web.I went there as i found that other search engines were slow and basically didn't give me what i wanted. Lycos was a breath of fresh air.The opening page is helpful,interesting as well as eye catching and thanks to the adverts on t.v.the little doggy logo makes us identify straight away with what's on offer. As well as searching on lycos the option is given to use other engines such as Hotbot which only ...
...and my favourite thing available is that of free text messagaing(sms) I've tried many other sms services such as Genie but Lycos is definately the best.There's no need to sign in which is great and the terms need to be agreed to before going any further which more than likely puts perverts and other strange people off using the free service.Messages are generally sent very quickly and although there are adverts on the bottom of messages this doesn't ...

I have been using lycos.co.uk recently because I found that the other big sites were not getting me relevant pages. Lycos is fast, reliable and gives relevant pages from most searches. The free SMS service was a great addition to the site, which has made it a lot more popular, especially with the younger generation. Lycos is catching up with the likes of AltaVista and Yahoo but I do not feel it is at their level yet. If they keep improving the ...

Review of lycos.co.uk

Out of all possible search engines available, I would say that this is the second best out of all which I use. It gives fairly accurate and relevant searches, not the gobble de gook that some search engines turf out. One problem that I could find with it was a lack of depth within the search, meaning that I find google.com as the best search engine, therefore the one which I use more than any other. There are some other good features around there ...

The big black doggy that fetches all you ask it to is just as cute as the service you get from Lycos.co.uk. Apart from being an excellent and efficient search engine, it is packed to the seams with useful, free features. Everything from finding the perfect match to winning a wad of dosh is available to you all, with the free SMS service and the free MAP service being exceptionally good. A lot of people have sung the praises of the free SMS service ...
...in honour of Lycos Maps. They are excellent. All you do is fill in the Town, the GB postcode or a street name of the place you are looking for and the mighty power of Lycos swings into action placing you exactly where you want to be on the map. If you type in a place name that is not unique, Lycos will give you a list from which you can choose your exact destination. There are several levels of resolution so you can print out the map with the amount ...
