Trends in change
Over the fours years we see the following changes:
- Many more sites are now using a search engine
- Free solutions are popular (ht://dig, Microsoft, Google and Atomz) although there has been an increase in paid-for software as well (Inktomi/Ultraseek, and Coldfusion - it comes as part of paid-for software)
- There is evidence that once a solution has been found (particularly paid-for) sites will stick with it (for instance Webinator, Atlavista product, Inktomi/Ultraseek). Hardly suprising.
