It is the first major search engine to begin crawling the web since the launch of HotBot back in May 1996. HotBot launches its SmartCrawl system, which will eventually index up to 10 million web pages per week.
It's interesting to note that MSN and HotBot -- which by default uses Yahoo's results -- seem very similar or identical while Yahoo sometimes shows great differences. These are mixture of pages found by Yahoo's crawling of the web and content...
Shifting over to the plural "san francisco dentists" found a page from the aforementioned dental-6.com site listed in the HotBot results from Inktomi while the Zeezo.com page also mentioned appeared at AllTheWeb and Ask Jeeves.
This means that just because you rank well at one Inktomi-powered search engine (such as HotBot), you may still rank differently at MSN Search. In these instances, MSN Search "falls back" to providing listings that come from crawling the web.

HotBot Adds Directory, 3/98 LookSmart shows information it has found by crawling the web after any matches from its human-compiled listings (or in place of them, if there are no human-compiled matches).
Ask Jeeves, Overture and HotBot are all making moves to get the word out about themselves. A look at Grub, the company and technology that LookSmart purchased earlier this year to do distributed crawling of the web.
For instance, Lycos InSite tells you that being listed with AllTheWeb (they still say FAST) provides, "submission to all these great search engines: Dogpile, Metacrawler, T-online, BT: Looksmart, ItaliaOnline, Terra.com, Lycos, AllTheWeb, Excite...

Note that at HotBot, you'll need to search on this and then maybe click to the second page of results, which are powered by Inktomi, to get the correct response, since the first page may still come from Direct Hit.

Submitting your page to Inktomi via the free Add URL pages of its partners such as HotBot causes them to incur a ranking penalty. In terms of search, the layoffs had the most impact on Excite's directory listings, rather than its web wide crawling.
Anyone who uses the free Add URL page of a major Inktomi partner, such as HotBot's, is sending their page (in most cases) to Inktomi's Add URL crawler. For example, HotBot's help pages advise that up to 50 pages per day can be submitted for...
