Lycos Switches to Ask Jeeves Powered Engine

(rt) Lycos has announced that it will be switching over from Yahoo! powered search results to the Ask Jeeves engine, prompting a rise of the latter’s shares by 2.1% on Nasdaq.

Search veterans may recall the days when Lycos was a full fledged search engine in their own right until they licensed FAST’s technology and index. After Yahoo! acquired Overture which had bought out FAST’s Alltheweb engine shortly before, Lycos was powered by Yahoo!.

Now, what we’re seeing is an upgrading of Ask Jeeves whose Teoma engine has always been every SEO’s darling because of their highly relevant theme clustered results.
