Abstract

Describes 4 search engines for the Internet: infoMarket Search; Yahoo and OpenText; Lycos Spider; and WebCompass. InfoMarket Search retrieves data from Web pages and information providers such as Disclosure, Information Access Company and Cambridge Scientific Abstracts. It is able to search millions of Web pages in under five seconds. Automated 'crawlers' index the complete text of Web documents. Yahoo enables users to search for specific words and phrases and conduct multilevel Boolean and weighted searches. Lycos spider offers support for HotJava and indexes 91% of the Web. WebCompass polls multiple search engines such as Lycos and InfoSeek for relevant Web pages. A personalized index of topics may be built and retrieved data stored in a format based on Microsoft Access 2.0

Footnote

Briefly reviews the AltaVista and Notes search software for searching the WWW. In the case of AltaVista, Digital claims that this web crawler has been crawling the WWW at the rate of 2,5 million pages per day and already accounts for the indexing of 16 million pages and 13.000 newsgroups. Suggests that AltaVista pulls of significantly more on obscure or specialist subjects than rivals like InfoSeek and Excite. concludes with details of IBM's development of the Lotus WWW searcher designed to cope with the increasing complexity of web applications

Abstract

Ovid Technologies is launching its Java search client to enable users to access Ovid's scientific databases on the Web with full search capabilities irrespective of the type of computer used. Explains the differences between Java and HTML. The Java client increases search speed by several orders of magnitude. The Ovid client does not need to wait for individual pages to load and incorporates multi-tasking. The interface includes tree displays; thesauri; mapping; explode/implode; search fields and context sensitive help. Display; save; and e-mail are available from the client

Abstract

Discusses the implications for users of patent information of the decision by the European Patent Office (EPO) to follow the US by offering the full text of patents, free, via the Internet. This poses a threat to the traditional vendors and could result in the loss of sophisticated searching should they withdraw from the patent information market. While it is possible that the Internet and online vendors could supply complementary levels of service, high quality patent abstracting and indexing is expensive and vendors are under pressure to reduce prices. Describes the implementation of the EPO project and the impact on MicroPatent of IBM's Web based patent service

Abstract

Verity Search 97 software will index and search e-mail, attachments, folders and documents on local and network disk drives. The Internet may be searched via the same front end and changes to particular documents or pages may be monitored. Documents may be viewed in their native formats including ASCII, HTML, PDF and popular word processors, with highlighted search terms. Agents may be launched into the Internet to retrieve information according to a user-specified profile. The software can index about 700 MB an hour. Describes the search technology which includes fuzzy logic and natural language. The Web version of Personal Search 97 works with Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer, while the Exchange version will work regardless of any attachment to an Exchange server. Search 97 Personal improves online time and access time and allows searches to be refined offline
