Search tool
The Open Text Web Index, while still under heavy construction, is
now available for general use. This Web search engine has currently
indexed about half a million pages (http, gopher, ftp), and intends,
in the near future, to index over 2 million pages and over 1
billion words of text. The following features of the Web Index
distinguish it from the many other other web searchers (see
http://cuiwww.unige.ch/meta-index.html for a good summary):
1. 100% of the full text of every page is indexed
2. Boolean and ranked search are supported
3. Updated every night in an effort to track the web as closely as possible
4. Prefix, word, and phrase search all run at the same (high) speed
5. Hosted by a big-league Internet Service Provicer (UUNET Canada), so there's lots of bandwidth
6. It's **FREE***
7. Real-time Key-Word-In-Context display of match points, to avoid following URL's to check up on every match.
8. No preset number of match returns; if you find 845 pages, and have the patience, the Index will scroll through them all.
Open Text and UUNET are doing this for free to demonstrate that our search technology and network service facilities are world-class. Enjoy, and (particularly at the moment, while everything is under development, PLEASE GET BACK TO US WITH PROBLEM REPORTS AND SUGGESTIONS!
