    We all know that AOL search engine is powered by GOOGLE, but how? Its not exactly the same results you get from them. Try it out and you'll see. Do they use google engine or just mix up everything and they have a soup noone wants to eat? AOL traffic is so low if not 0 as i only get the crawlers from them!!! If some Search engine is powered by another, who needs it anyway?

    They must have some agreement AOL is not just some webmaster's personalized search. The search results are similar to Google's but still different. They corespond to some Google Data Centers' results.
