I find that the Infoseek web site (now reborn as infoseek.go.com) just
doesn't return useful results the way it used to.  For a while, when
Google was in its infancy and hadn't indexed much of the web, I'd use
Infoseek first and then switch to Google if I didn't get useful results
out of Infoseek.  As time passed, I reached the point where only half of
my Infoseek searches returned useful results and I dropped Infoseek like
a hot rock.
