Lycos Search Tips
- Comprehensive--good for obscure topics.
- Does not allow exact phrase searching.
- Can use "and," and "or" (the default). Can match 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7
terms.
- Use the "-" symbol to create a "not" search.
- Automatically truncates a word, for example, bank will retrieve banks,
banking, bankers, etc. Use a period after the search term to retrieve
an exact match, for example, bank. will retrieve only documents with the
word "bank".
