3. _C_h_a_n_g_e_s__a_n_d__A_d_d_i_t_i_o_n_s
The changes to the InfoSearch product since release 1.0 are
as follows:
+o As of release 3.x and beyond, the InfoSearch "client"
is a process that simply launches your desktop web-
browser (as specified in the Toolchest->Desktop-
>Customize->Utilities panel).
+o Major UI cleanup and redesign.
+o Improved navigation; searching and browsing are now
combined.
+o Improved/faster index creation.
+o Browsing and searching by sub-categories is now
supported.
+o The search result sorting algorithm is now by score,
which is much more robust than in previous versions.
+o The Help and "How Do I" information is now folded into
the Online Books domain.
+o Initial changes for searching multiple document
"collections."
+o You may wish to utilize the content present on the SGI
Technical Publications site at:
http://techpubs.sgi.com/.
+o A web browser such as _n_e_t_s_c_a_p_e(1) can be used to
contact any available InfoSearch "server". Simply point
your browser at the requested server URL; such as:
http://<hostname>/infosearch/. Substitute the name of
the server containing InfoSearch content for
<hostname>.
