Hotbot.com. certainly is a colorful search engine with its sickly green, brash red and dull black colors. It also indicates that it can provide you with up to 10,25,50 or even 100 results. Who on earth I wonder wants to actually plow through 100 search results. It is quite quick to access and gets the search results reasonably quickly although it is not as fast as some other search engines. More significantly the accuracy of it's results is not so hot. Before I came across google.com. and alltheweb.com I used to use hotbot, a lot but I found some of the search results most inappropriate. Frankly now google.com, alltheweb.com or altavista.com would be very much my preferred choice for search engines, not the rather gimmicky, multi-colored, hotbot !
