Item of interest:

"In the December issue of Macworld magazine, Charles Seiter,
contributing editor, tested all the search engines, and hit on
Infoseek. "The present champion of hit quality is Infoseek's new
Ultra site, which has an elaborate set of built-in rules for
guessing which sites match what you really want," he said. "Based
on this search, I'd give Infoseek an A+ for the timeliness of its
information, followed by Excite (C), HotBot (C-), Lycos (D-), and
Magellan (D-). AltaVista, OpenText, WebCrawler, and Yahoo failed this
test entirely.""*
