AOL Netfind is a co-branded search engine powered by theOpen Directory Project and by Inktomi, the same database that powers Hotbot . Although AOL Netfind is only a branded search engine and shares the same backend system as other search engines, AOL receives a large volume of traffic each day and is just as important to ensure your webpages are easy to find. On the plus side, being a branded search engine ensures that once your site is listed on one of the search engines will guarantee a similiar listing on the other search engine.
AOL Netfind uses the same indexing and spidering techniques as the Open Directory Project (for Web Site matches) and the same techniques as Hotbot (for Web Page matches) since they are powered on the same database engine(s).
