We chatted about this back in April on www-talk. George Phillips
proposed an extra header
(normal headers here)
Status: 10% complete
Status: 20% complete
...
Status: Search Completed
(rest of headers)
HTML stuff
Posted to the list were patches for XMosaic and Lynx to display this, and
a sample script. I don't have the www-talk archive address on hand, but

I used these patches for a while - but until it gets added to the
