What is Lycos?

Lycos is a search engine which originally started as a research project at Carnegie Mellon University and officially launched in 1995. This is before most people even knew what a "search engine" was. The company quickly grew and started providing search results both in the US and in many other countries which it continues to do to this day, effectively establishing a global search brand.

A comprehensive suite of tools that helps millions of people find whatever they're looking for, from traditional web results to video, images, shopping deals, and more.
