Inktomi up the creek?

Hi,

I've been searching of the US version of Hotbot, ([hotbot.lycos.com ]) and I'm seeing lots of "Sorry, your search yielded no results"...

And these are for general terms like "test". My IP is being blocked as I'm going via a proxy. Has anyone else noticed this...or seeing as its Hotbot, even care?

Something strange going on yes.
I also do not get results for 'test', 'cats' 'support' and a few other words.

Ah well, didn't noticed them sending us any traffic lately anyway.

Hi, Josk. Some searches are OK and some are yielding no results. Ink's not up the creek, but it's been looking like Hotbot is headed that way unless some changes come.

Damian, no sign of any traffic from Hotbot either. And they haven't seemed to be including the Ink paid listings either.

yes...its seems to be okay, and then stop...

btw, they changed the way the display "next results". Before I kept on clicking on the "200+" range instead of "next"...and I guess they noticed as welll...
