by beavis612 , Aug 12 '00
Pros: Fast Searches,Safe Secure email, Free web pages, MP3 search,Instant Messaging
Cons: Next to none
Lycos has over the years grown to be my most favorite of all search sites and has changed the way I looked at them.

Pros: SMS service, directory search is top qulity

Lycos Has Come a Long Way as a Search Engine

by neomartin , Jul 30 '01
Pros: Clean design; easily seen search engine box; rich advanced feature set
Cons: Some pages had to be refreshed before the links would work
The Lycos portal and search engine has an attractive layout, and it is easy to locate what we want to find within the portal. Like MSN, the search engine is located near the top of the page in a bluish-colored area; unlike MSN, however, our attention is...

Pros: Fairly good results
Cons: none I can think of.
Ok, by now, I am sure that all are familiar with lycos.com, and their search engine. But if you are not, let me give you an explanation of what it's like. First, Lycos.com is not just a search engine, it, like most services, provides a number of tools...

by hazzah , Aug 13 '00
Pros: easy as pie
Cons: nothing I can think of
I usually use the worst of all search engines, Yahoo. Alas one day about a year and a half ago I decided to type in lycos.com. I'm glad I did.

Pros: great search engine with wonderful multimedia searching and returns plenty of results
Cons: sometimes returns too many results, some results have very little information on the topic you are searching

I ASK MYSELF 'WHY BOTHER?' EVERYTIME!

by calwaone Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Apr 05 '01
Pros: TELEVISION ADS ARE TERRIFIC!
Cons: I END UP WASTING TIME BY TRYING TO FIND THINGS, HERE

I've seen better.

by midhir , Apr 13 '01
Pros: Not bad to look at.
Cons: Limited for some searches.
I think Lycos is overhyped. Having used it a few times and attempted to submit a URL, I don't think much of it. Frankly, the URL submisssion process on the site makes next to no sense. I've done quite a few submissions, and this was one of the least...
