Was a public Search Engine site. Also built [Ultra Seek], an Intra Net ("enterprise") search technology in 1997. It was built by wrapping Infoseek's core search technology with PyThon, in order to make it a complete search engine for enterprises.
DisNey bought Info Seek (for it's public search portal technology and traffic, for go.com) in July1999.
[InkTomi] bought the [Ultra Seek] (Intra Net) technology from DisNey in (2000) to complement its own public web-search technology (part of the [HotBot] site at the time).
VerIty bought Info Seek's [Ultra Seek] technology in Nov2002 (as a cheaper alternative to its own engine), so [InkTomi] could concentrate on (public site) "web search".
YaHoo bought [InkTomi] in Mar2003.
(The above history is very confusing to me, and might not be fully accurate.)
I had a strange recollection that some generation of some Info Seek code was Open Source (or Public Domain). But [Ryan Weisenberger] says I'm wrong.
