=head1 NAME

WWW::Search::Lycos - class for searching www.lycos.com

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use WWW::Search;
  my $oSearch = new WWW::Search('Lycos');
  my $sQuery = WWW::Search::escape_query("+sushi restaurant +Columbus Ohio");
  $oSearch->native_query($sQuery);
  while (my $oResult = $oSearch->next_result())
    { print $oResult->url, "\n"; }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is a Lycos specialization of L<WWW::Search>.  It handles
making and interpreting Lycos-site searches F<http://www.lycos.com>.

This class exports no public interface; all interaction should
be done through L<WWW::Search> objects.

=head1 NOTES

Warning!  As of 2004-01, lycos.com often returns an error page in
place of the third page of results.  So it is very difficult to get
more than 20 hits for any query!

www.lycos.com is sometimes slow to respond; but I have not had a
problem with the default timeout.

www.lycos.com does not give the date nor size of the pages at the
resulting URLs; therefore change_date() and size() will never have a
value.

=head1 SEE ALSO

To make new back-ends, see L<WWW::Search>.

=head1 BUGS

Please tell the author if you find any!
