WebCrawler Turns 10 Today

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the young-at-art dept.

Brian Pinkerton writes "WebCrawler, one of the first search engines on the 'Net, turns 10 today. You can read a short history of WebCrawler. When I wrote WebCrawler, one could do a credible job of crawling, indexing, and searching the Web from a single desktop PC. Today, the reality is a little bit different."

    You can be emailed results from Google as well.
    Simply email google@capeclear.com with the search terms in the subject line, you will soon recieve a response with the results. I think there is a limit to how many times a day you can use this, but I cannot find the link to the project webpage.
