An excellent article on Internet shopping bots/services
mentions IQuest.

Cheap, Cheaper, Cheapest
By Michelle V. Rafter
While popular with shoppers and small-time merchants,
some retailers consider bots a menace.

Excerpt from article:

With the growing popularity of online shopping, other vendors are
beginning to market price-comparison technology to independent
shopping sites and merchants. Inktomi, the search and caching
technology vendor, will soon launch a private-label comparison bot
called Shopping Engine. Merchants can use the technology to help
shoppers search product categories, by price or brand name. Inktomi
has already licensed similar technology to shopping sites W3Networks
and iSleuth. Meanwhile, another vendor, Active Buyers' Guide, licenses
its search technology to PC Photo Forum, Imagine Resources and
Hyperzine.

Shop 'Til You Drop
Merchants may disagree over their usefulness, but that hasn't
stopped price-comparison shopping sites from proliferating.
Here's a sampling of what's out there.
