Description:

The ht://Dig system is a complete world wide web indexing and searching system
for a small domain or intranet. This system is not meant to replace the need
for powerful internet-wide search systems like Lycos, Infoseek, Webcrawler and
AltaVista. Instead it is meant to cover the search needs for a single company,
campus, or even a particular sub section of a web site.

As opposed to some WAIS-based or web-server based search engines, ht://Dig can
span several web servers at a site. The type of these different web servers
doesn't matter as long as they understand the HTTP 1.0 protocol.

ht://Dig was developed at San Diego State University as a way to search the
various web servers on the campus network.
