Excite UK now powered by AllTheWeb
23rd July 2002
The Register: Tiscali to launch Excite across Europe. From Excite.co.uk:
We are back—and we have created the most complete search channel on the web for you. Take advantage of our collection of 2,100,000,000 web sites and the world’s largest man-made directory!
Sounds like Google and DMOZ doesn’t it? Sure enough, the directory pages carry a standard Open Directory footer. The only indication of what is powering the search engine is a Fast logo, which suggest that Excite UK have gone with AllTheWeb rather than Google for their back end.
