Marc,

No it doesn't spider, it is a specialized tool for searching documents.

I'm curious, what value is there to being able to count the number of
url's ?

It does do things like query all documents where CREATE AND TABLE are n
words apart, just as fast, I would think these are more valuable to
document searching?

I think the challenge here is what do we want to search. I am betting
that folks use this page as they would man? ie. what is the command for
create trigger?

As I said my offer stands to help out, but I think if the goal is to
search the entire website, then this particular tool is not useful.

At this point I am working on indexing the sgml directly as it has less
cruft in it. For instance all the links that appear in every summary are
just noise.
