Lycos InSite Pro offers paid inclusion and hosted site search starting at $189 per month. Site search is hosted in the Lycos Data Center, providing a secure environment for indexes. No software or hardware is involved, and search can be customized. A search box easily integrated into site design is provided.

In the original Lycos implementation (which was used with only minor revisions from May 1994 until February 1996), the spider was written in Perl and used an associative array to hold the queue. Perl allows such arrays to be kept on disk using the Unix DBM database manager, which affords very efficient access of very large queues. Lycos now uses a proprietary spider program written entirely in C.

In April 1999 Lycos ceased to use its own search technology and switched to using AllTheWeb. While the perennial argument comes up as to why use Lycos instead of AllTheWeb, this is another example of what licensees do with technology to try and get a leg up on their suppliers.
