 WebCrawler Gets "Deportaled"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
WebCrawler has a new look and feel, returning to its roots and living up to its longtime motto "It's that Simple." The revamped search engine has ditched nearly all of its "portal" features and is now focusing exclusively on providing high-quality web search results.
WebCrawler is owned by Excite, though for years it used its own, much smaller index of web pages to provide search results.
WebCrawler's "de-portalization" is a welcome change to the venerable search engine, as is Excite's apparent commitment to paying attention to WebCrawler's users and tuning the search engine to better fit their needs.

 Webcrawler Tips   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
If you give WebCrawler several terms to search for, it will "OR" them together and provide a list of results which contain all or just some of the terms you provided.
With WebCrawler, relevance is determined by how many times a word appears in the document.

 WebCrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
WebCrawler avoids CGI directories, so HTML documents that are generated on the fly present difficulties for indexing.
It is not clear whether WebCrawler indexes META tags or not.
(WebCrawler displays 60 characters maximum on the result page from the title tag) This is omportant because WebCrawler puts more weight to the title than the body text.

Although I did not get an outstanding grade on the project (see Appendix C for the gist of the professor's comments), I feel that there are real results and that they are important enough to post on the Internet.
Webcrawler also did poorly, having the lowest alpha of all four in the top ten precision (see chart #4).
It is quite clear from a casual inspection that Webcrawler and Infoseek have the best response times, and the least variable ones.

 Citations: Finding What People Want: Experiences with the WebCrawler - Pinkerton (ResearchIndex)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Similarity metrics are derived from the vector space model [31] which represents each document or query by a vector with one dimension for each term and a weight along that dimension that estimates the term s contribution to the meaning of the document.
However, as it will be argued throughout this work, such an evaluation could prove to be inaccurate since there are cases where users may be dissatisfied with the output of such modules even if they contain references to resources of high relevancy to the corresponding query.
This algorithm was explored as early as 1994 in the WebCrawler

 David Kline : Exploring the NetCF WebCrawler sample (Visual Studio .NET 2003)
The way the WebCrawler sample handles this is in how it uses the StatusCode member of the LinkInfo class.
It is important to note that the WebCrawler sample keeps a master Hashtable (not shown in the above exampled) that holds all of the Urls that it discovers (regardless of whether or not it was able to successfully visit them) as well as a temporary Hashtable used while collecting links from a Url.
As we have seen, the WebCrawler uses it's master Hashtable to keep track of the Urls it has found and uses the data stored in the Urls associated LinkInfo object to determine if it has previously visited the link.
