I believe that the EWS engine only indexes the local server; I don't think
it includes a spider. I believe it also only can communicate with a server
via CGI, rather than any of the higher-speed interfaces (NSAPI, ISAPI) I
invite you to look at Verity's SEARCH'97 Information Server, which addresses
these issues. A basic version of the Verity engine is included with
Netscape servers. See http://www.verity.com.
I would also suggest that anyone with search-specific questions join the
search mailing list -- search@mccmedia.com. To join, send "subscribe" in
the body of a message to search-request@mccmedia.com.
