- Abstract
- Reports the results of searches on 200 topics carried out on 5 Internet search engines (Magellan, Point, Lycos, InfoSeek and AltaVista). Describes the methodology followed and the results of the study. Gives a chart showing 30 of the search queries, with the performance of each search engine. Indicates some of the limitations of the search engines
