Where do about.com search results come from?

I redesigned and took over hosting for a site, and there are referrals coming in from a couple of about.com pages. I don't believe the site has an actual listing on those pages - it must be from search.

Who supplies the about.com search results? Is it Inktomi?

It usually says under the listing in really hard to read light gray text. They pull from a variety of meta search engines. The biggest being Mamma.com, ZdNet.com, and a slew of weird ones including Ebay and GoClick. They were probably coming from Mamma.com (go2net/metacrawler.)
