- 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
-
