a stand-alone service, LookSmart provides directory results to MSN
Search, Excite and many other partners. Inktomi provides LookSmart
with search results when a search fails to find a match from among
LookSmart's reviews. LookSmart launched independently in October
1996, was backed by Reader's Digest for about a year, and then company
executives bought back control of the service.
