If I click the "more hits from" link on AlltheWeb's SERP, I will get four results. Two are "real" results and two are "weird" results.

The real results have a TITLE, a DESCRIPTION and a size (XY.Z kB).

The weird results have the link w/o the .html as title, the anchor text(?) as description and a size of (1 B).

Two of the four results (one real, one weird) point to the same URL. All three unique pages have been crawled but apparantly only two are in the index.

Currently 2,112,188,990 documents in Web catalog

I wonder how many are "real" documents (fully crawled), duplicates, or just "guessed".

Summary: The closer I look at AlltheWeb the less I like it. Back to Google.

luma...ditto!

where do you find that "more hits from link"?
I just tried to locate that when I searched our keywords, which like yours are bringing up some very irrelavant and inconsistant (daily) results.

I have emailed Lycos and Alltheweb. Alltheweb replied with a suggestion that I contact Lycos with the problem, as my sites are PPI. The only time my search works is when I use the "exact phrase" option...but who can count on searchers to do that?

I don't know...it seems that no one really has any real answers as to why the results are coming up so wild...I think my greatest concern being in the US, is that they would hook up with Yahoo, and thats why I have been tracking it so closely.

I am about to give up on this search engine...even though it is totally against my obsesive compulsive nature.

Where are Heini and Rumbas?

The "more hits from:" is below the description if there are more pages matching the search, i.e., if I search for my name, I will get the "more hits from: http*//www.mydomain.com/path/file.html (7.9 kB)" but if I search more specific and there's only one document (from my domain) matching the search, I won't get this extra link.

Search for Microsoft [alltheweb.com...]

You'll get two LATEST NEWS: (is this new?) results that were indexed less than an hour ago and then the regular results. The first one is Microsoft's home page and you'll find the "more hits from" in front of the url. Get it? The second one is microsoft.de but w/o "more hits from" (maybe it's just a doorway page).
