Having no idea what Lycos was myself, I stumbled upon it once last year.
Lycos is a search engine similar to Google. Actually, it worked better than Google the time I used it.

Before Google pretty much took over, there were lots of search engines people could choose from.

Lycos, AltaVista, InfoSeek, DogPile, Excite, and WebCrawler all come to mind.

I found an Internet book from 1998. I knew it was dated not from what it contained:

Yahoo, Infoseek, Webcrawler, Altavista, Lycos

but from what was missing:

GOOGLE!!!!!!!!

A lot of those engines still exist, and since they work differently than Google (different algorithms, etc.), if you're doing an indepth search it can really benefit you to run it on several of them - you'll find things you never would just using Google or Yahoo. (Yes, I am a geek, lol.)
