Goto is same place as HotBot since they both use Inktomi as their engine. I can see some reporters deciding (mistakenly) that Goto isn't a search engine because of the bidding for position process, but that's overlooking the fact that once you get past the bids (or if there are no bids, or if you do a complicated search like '+shingles -roof -house -construction +disease' then Goto is just a normal Inktomi search engine.

Northern Light: 16.0
Snap: 15.5
Altavista: 15.5
HotBot: 11.3
