the Next Generation of Web Crawling for Macintosh</p>
<p>Macworld, San Francisco, CA, January 7, 1997 -- Maxum Development Corp.<br />
today announced Phantom 2.0, a major upgrade to the currently released<br />
version, Phantom 1.1. Phantom 2.0 brings second generation Web crawling to<br />
Macintosh Webmasters and is still the only commercially available<br />
crawler/search engine for the Mac OS.</p>
<p>As the Internet continues to expand, Web search and retrieval tools are<br />
becoming essential in making information not only available but accessible.<br />
Monolithic search engines such as Yahoo offer important services, but in<br />
many cases only add to the information overload.</p>
<p>Phantom enables Webmasters to build targeted search and retrieval<br />
capabilities into their Web sites. It is perfect for organizations with<br />
multiple (even hundreds) of Web servers, allowing the Webmaster to make the<br />
entire site searchable from a single entry point. Phantom is also ideal<br />
for content-specific search engines, where a Webmaster may want to make the<br />
content on his own site more accessible, as well as the information on<br />
related servers.</p>
<p>"Phantom's ability to index remote sites gives us a competitive edge in the<br />
trade right now," says Marc Smith, cofounder of The Antiquarian Book<br />
Network. "It gives us the power to incorporate the entire on-line book<br />
trade within our search engine, making us one of the highest profile book<br />
sites on the Internet."</p>
<p>Phantom can crawl servers running any HTTP server software on any platform,<br />
including Macintosh, UNIX, or Windows NT. Phantom also archives and mirrors<br />
complete Web sites and performs automatic updating while providing a host<br />
of reporting and site management capabilities.</p>
<p>Phantom can now be administered via a web browser, either on the same<br />
machine or remotely from anywhere on the Internet. Webmasters can<br />
completely customize the search, search results and reporter pages, as well<br />
as automatically add advertising-style banners. Other new options<br />
available include the ability to control every detail of the crawler, the<br />
indexer, the Web server and the remote administration process. Also new is<br />
the ability to filter pages from the index and the ability to index pages<br />
directly on the Phantom server's file system.</p>
<p>Current users of Phantom will see significant improvement in the<br />
performance of crawling, indexing and searching, and Phantom's data file<br />
size has been reduced by as much as 75%. Phantom 2.0 also offers<br />
dramatically improved MIME type and ISO-8859 (international character)<br />
support.</p>
<p>Additional improvements in Phantom 2.0:</p>
<p>*Email notification of changed pages<br />
*Automatic advertising module<br />
*Site index maps<br />
*Automatic periodic backups<br />
*Export/import of preferences and session information<br />
*Alias support<br />
*Improved searching interface<br />
*Relevancy ranking of search results</p>
<p>Phantom 2.0 is expected to ship in February 1997. A beta version is<br />
currently available for download at "http://www.maxum.com/Phantom/". The<br />
version 2.0 upgrade will be free to all current registered users. Phantom<br />
retails for $395.00 and new customers can order by either visiting<br />
"http://www.maxum.com/" or by calling Maxum Development at (630) 830-1113.</p>
