- Abstract
- Compares WWW search engines to each other in terms of database size and overlap between the largest of them. Compares: AltaVista, Excite, HotBot, Infoseek, Lycos, Magellan, the Open Text index and WebCrawler. HotBot consistently finds more pages than any of the others. Considers how availability of hits, duplication and overlap affects evaluation of database size
