<p>---Maxum Development adds PDF, Customizability to Phantom Web Crawler---</p>
<p>Crystal Lake, IL, July 20, 1999 -- Maxum Development Corporation, a<br />
leading developer of tools for Macintosh and Windows Internet<br />
servers, announced today that it would ship version 2.2 of Phantom,<br />
its Web crawler and site search engine. The new version adds<br />
significant new features, driving it into a new class of solution.</p>
<p>Avi Rappoport, industry Analyst at SearchTools.com, says that Phantom<br />
2.2 has "An excellent browser interface, providing power and<br />
flexibility in a very usable format, accessible to both webmasters<br />
and programmers. It allows designers to control the look and feel of<br />
their search interface, making it easy to set up completely different<br />
designs for different areas or sites. Phantom is a strong contender<br />
in the midrange market (500 - 5000 page sites) and as a small portal<br />
search engine."</p>
<p>The most significant addition in Phantom 2.2 is support for indexing<br />
text of Adobe Portable Document Format (Acrobat) documents. Text in<br />
PDF documents will be transparently indexed just like text or HTML<br />
pages are indexed in the previous version. This new feature makes it<br />
possible to use Phantom as a standalone, cross-platform tool for full<br />
text search and retrieval of PDF documents.</p>
<p>Current users of Phantom will be delighted with the enhanced<br />
customizability added in the new version. Administrators have always<br />
been able to customize Phantom's search and results pages. Now,<br />
search, results and other templates can be separately customized for<br />
each logical index hosted by a Phantom server. The</p>
<p>In addition to big new features, Phantom 2.2 has a number of smaller<br />
enhancements. These include selectable folder depth when crawling,<br />
support for indexing and searching on extended or arbitrary META<br />
tags, and more control over user-defined agents. The administration<br />
interface has been improved so that common tasks require accessing<br />
fewer pages. Phantom's indexing speed is also increased in version<br />
2.2, producing a 50% to 200% performance improvement when indexing a<br />
large number of documents in a single run.</p>
<p>About Phantom</p>
<p>Phantom is a site search tool for Internet and intranet Web servers.<br />
It supports indexing both local content and remote content using its<br />
robot Web crawler. A single double-clickable application and a<br />
straightforward Web administration make Phantom the "easiest way to<br />
add search to your site". Easy to use does not mean Phantom is<br />
stripped-down. It also supports high-end features like multiple<br />
logical indexes, effective relevance ranking, and capacity for<br />
thousands of indexed documents.</p>
<p>Phantom is priced at $395 and is available for Mac OS and Windows NT.<br />
Phantom 2.2 is a free upgrade for users who purchased Phantom within<br />
the past year, or users with older licenses can upgrade for $139.<br />
