RichMedia Search
provides a vertical search mechanism for locating pictures, movies, streams
and sounds on the Internet.
Using the current catalog, which contains more than 17 million files, Lycos RichMedia Search is one of the
most comprehensive sources available for finding multimedia files on the Web.
The new RichMedia Search engine creates a fully integrated results page
that features all multimedia files. The user enters a keyword or phrase to
obtain results that are automatically categorized into pictures, movies,
streams and sounds. A search for "Star Trek" would return Star Trek image
thumbnails, downloadable video, streaming video and a variety of audio
format files, all logically grouped on the search results page.
Lycos believes that its RichMedia Search is easier to use than other
multimedia search engines, as they tend to force a user to jump to multiple
pages in order to view results for different multimedia formats. RichMedia
also lets users further target their searches by choosing to search just
one media category.
