<p align="center">Inktomi is a U. C. Berkeley Research Prototype search engine. <i>Prototype</i>
is the operative word here because I think this engine still needs some work before they
take it out of the garage. Numerous of my site submissions have been ignored. They are
going to commercialize this project and in the course of the move they have issued a
concern about taking your <a href="http://inktomi.berkeley.edu/addurl.html">URL
submissions</a>. There is little documentation on this service. They do publish
information about how they came up with the <a
href="http://inktomi.berkeley.edu/story.html">name</a> for the service and how to
pronounce it. <a href="http://inktomi.berkeley.edu/query.html">Instructions</a> for using
Inktomi are so simple that they take up only a few paragraphs on the query page. Inktomi
has a few <a href="http://inktomi.berkeley.edu/counting.html">words</a> about how other
search engines count the pages they index, but they have nothing to say about how many
pages they index themselves. There is a short page describing the <a
href="http://inktomi.berkeley.edu/scalable.html">Scalable Web Services technology</a> used
by Inktomi. The search engine is fast and simple to use, but the results returned are thin
and not at all comprehensive. The developers are <a
href="http://HTTP.CS.Berkeley.EDU/~gauthier/">Paul Gauthier</a> and <a
href="http://HTTP.CS.Berkeley.EDU/~brewer/">Eric Brewer</a> of the University of
California at Berkeley. (5/5/96) </p>
