Summary:

ht://Dig - Web search engine

Description:

The ht://Dig system is a complete world wide web indexing and searching system for a small domain or intranet. This system is not meant to replace the need for powerful internet-wide search systems like Lycos, Infoseek, Webcrawler and AltaVista. Instead it is meant to cover the search needs for a single company, campus, or even a particular sub section of a web site. As opposed to some WAIS-based or web-server based search engines, ht://Dig can span several web servers at a site. The type of these different web servers doesn't matter as long as they understand the HTTP 1.0 protocol. ht://Dig is also used by KDE to search KDE's HTML documentation. ht://Dig was developed at San Diego State University as a way to search the various web servers on the campus network.
