According to Yahoo, the Yahoo Site Explorer runs only until 2012 because of the Yahoo-Microsoft search deal ( http://www.ysearchblog.com/2010/08/17/search-alliance-update-for-webma… ). Open Site Explorer is the free promotion site of the commercial toolset Linkscape, so it's similar to us. Google link queries are very incomplete, that's why webmasters use other databases. In addition, we provide other tools as well.

There's already a rel=canonical element supported by the major search engines:

I just found this paper in my school's library. Its not new and it looks like google + yahoo + msn have maybe given up on trying to find 'DUST' because they now let you do that

Its still interesting that
1. Many sites have a lot of 'DUST'
2. It is not very hard to find the 'DUST'- which obviously reduces crawling time.

Yahoo! BOSS launched on July 9, 2008: http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000599.html
Duck Duck Go's site says it was in development for about a year. If it was indeed built on top of BOSS, the developer must've spent 10 months doing pretty much nothing.
