Lycos
     
         A {World-Wide Web} index, served by {Carnegie
        Mellon University}.  It allows you to search on document title
        and content for a list of keywords.  Lycos is probably the
        biggest such index on the web.  By April 1995, the Lycos
        database contained 2.95 million unique documents.
     
        The Lycos database is built by a {Web crawler} that can bring
        in 5000 documents per day.  The index searches document title,
        headings, links, and keywords it locates in these documents.
     
        The Lycos servers are efficient but overloaded.  Failure to
        connect or "please try later" messages are common.
