On the web, content is king. Far more important than glitzy
graphics, content makes people come back again and again.
Let's see how WebFoot measures this month's chosen web sites:

This month's Duck Feather
The URL search is back!
Lycos (http://www.lycos.com) now allows
you to search their URL database for any string.
Go to http://www.lycos.com/search/,
then use the Search For Text In URLs section (there's also a Title search
and a Web Site search).
Remember that Lycos doesn't like slashes, so use "OS2", not "OS/2".
The Yahoo (http://www.yahoo.com) search
engine also allows URL searches.
Precede your Yahoo search string with "u:" -- for example, "u:os2".
But for small searches, Lycos returns many more "hits" than Yahoo.
Lycos has a URL search limit of 1,000 hits.
