.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This class is a Lycos specialization of WWW::Search.  It handles
making and interpreting Lycos-site searches \fIhttp://www.lycos.com\fR.
.PP
This class exports no public interface; all interaction should
be done through WWW::Search objects.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "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!
.PP
www.lycos.com is sometimes slow to respond; but I have not had a
problem with the default timeout.
.PP
www.lycos.com does not give the date nor size of the pages at the
resulting URLs; therefore \fBchange_date()\fR and \fBsize()\fR will never have a
value.
