    I think Hotbot did that back in the 90’s, and it’s relaunched (well, the name and domain have been put to use again) as a privacy focused search that combines an AI style question/answer style system as well as traditional link list result. https://www.hotbot.com

      Huh, I might need to restore my bookmarks backup from IE5.

      What up, Lycos?

      Yeah, I’m pretty sure you’re right. I think before that was metasearch.com. It was basically a top frame that you entered the search in with a row of icons, and the bottom frame would render the search results from whichever sites you chose. I’m pretty sure it removed all the extra elements, too, so it was actually pretty decent.
