Description:
WWWWAIS is a small ANSI C program that acts as gateway between waisq
or waissearch (programs that search WAIS indexes) and a forms-capable
World-Wide Web browser. With the freely distributable freeWAIS package,
this program, and your local Web site, you can:
* Create searchable databases of the information on your Web site
* Allow users to search multiple databases via their
Web browser with customizable options
* Create a custom pop-up menu of servers to search through
* Produce hypertext search results, with file information and links
directly to the relevant HTML documents
* Retrieve WAIS source descriptions and files
* Specify URLs and filters to map results to
* Only allow users from certain sites to search documents
You can see how it looks at:
