As far as I am aware Inktomi is still a major player in the search engine world but...

MSN gives priority to paid listings and LookSmart results - if LookSmart supplies enough results Inktomi is not included in MSN's results at all.

Overture has its own results first.

Hotbot - I don't know, does it use Inktomi results? One page shows it uses DirectHit, the next shows Inktomi. In any case Hotbot's Inktomi is different from MSN's and Overture's Inktomi, sometimes I am not so sure Hotbot uses Inktomi at all.

I was wondering, does anyone know a search engine that uses Inktomi for its main search results before anything else? Is there a pure Inktomi general web search anywhere?

Thank you DaveN. I am familiar with these links. Sorry I wasn't clear.
What I am actually looking for is:

* an English web site
* with a domain name which is easy to remember
* provides pure Inktomi search results (for generic web searches, without mixing the results from other databases)

What I am looking for is a site similar to FAST's AllTheWeb, but it doesn't have to be a search site like AllTheWeb - it can be a portal, or any other site that has web search functionality in it.

I don't think there is one that fits all of those requirements. You only have pure search which mainstream has no idea about. The only real partner I get any traffic from is msn. I get about 20 referals a day from them. All other partners 0.

Funny... after some time I have found one on my own - I remembered this thread and came back here to answer my own question -

[beegoo.com...]

Selecting "The Web" and searching is almost identical to pure search (which is unfortunate because pure search has many repetitions of similar results)
