Web Search Excite Results No Longer from Excite's Own Database
After a few weeks of continuing to provide its own results, it appears that Excite.Com is now serving results from Overture's paid-inclusion database (supplemented with Inktomi content). At the bottom the page is the option to try "Excite Metasearch" which provides Dopgpile results. The Excite directory now serves ODP (Open Directory Project) results. So, it looks as if the switchover has begun and time to say so long to the Excite crawled database. Results at other Excite sites may vary.
