Which search engines cache the pages they've crawled?
Posted July 31st, 2007 by Benjamin Melançon
- Ask.com (Teoma) does cache, but very few of its pages
- Yahoo (Inktomi) caches
- MSN Live Search (also used by A9) for all practical purposes does not.
- Google does cache nearly everything
- AllTheWeb.com doesn't have a cache
- Altavista doesn't have a cache

Out of date or are things so bad its down the memory hole?
