Inktomi is a company that develops a web index similar to that of google. They have been becoming more active and are owned by Yahoo!. Yahoo! has plans to change from a google powered search to Inktomi, which would further thrust inktomi into the realm of (what my friend once called) "Really-Friggen-HUGE search engines. The spider that you see is Inktomi indexing the CD pages.
