True 'nuff.. what we need is an archie like mechanism which allows
for doing world wide searches on a specific topic. We are currently
working on a CGI interface which allows doing conceptual searches
on WWW archives. If you use a spider program to walk the web, or an
mechanism close to archie, you could do a _world wide_
"show me all documents dealing with foobar"
and get back a clickable list of world wide URLs!
That'd be kinda cool, wouldn't it.. ;-)
