Dear collegues,
I have faced a problem. I have a list of SE & Dirs, which are reported to use or not to use Inktomi technology (www.searchengines.com/partnerships.html) The trouble is that I am not sure if the information at my disposal is true and up-to-date. At least the above-mentioned table contains very strange data, for example it tells you that MSN does not support Real Names as to Inktomi take a look by yourselves so that to form your own judgement.
Search Engine Inktomi*
AOL Search Yes
AltaVistaSearch Engine No
ExciteNo
GoogleSearch Engine No
HotBotSearch Engine Yes
iWon Search Engine Yes
LookSmartDirectory Yes
LycosSearch Engine No
MSN Search Yes
New!Netscape Directory No
Northern LightSearch No
NBCi Directory Yes
YahooDirectory Yes, for corporate
First of all does info above correspond to reality.
Secondly I wish to ask you if Searchengines.com is a reliable source of information.
In the third course is there a trustworthy source, which won't make me blush to the roots of my hair as it happened when I produced Serchengines.com's info to my boss (without checking).
And finally bolshoe spasibo (thank you very much in Russian) for your future help

Welcome to WMW and the inktomi forum. I am not complete sure I understand your question - but if I sort of do - the yes placings are correct as well as the no's.

No search engine information is completely reliable from any source because it changes so quickly...

Yahoo and NBCi no longer use Inktomi.

>>NBCi no longer use Inktomi.

Not true. NBCi dumped its directory listings for GoTo results, which contain significant amounts of INKTOMI backfill.

Regarding Inktomi, you will probably find the most current information on their partnerships here [inktomi.com]
