Does this product support remote indexing and if so at what cost?

The webinator can index remote sites. The cost of indexing a remote
site is the network bandwidth to download the pages to index. The
free demo version can do this, though is limited to 10,000 pages.
The commercial version of the product costs $700.

We discourage you from walking other people's sites without their
permission.

John,

I am responsible for finding a solution to walking all North America's
Fujitsu Sites and holding the indexed information at our site to
be searched. It would be most cumbersome if I had to download all
these sites and then do the index locally. What does the $700 give me
that the free version will not? Also is it possible to go over the
limited 10,000 pages if needed?

Best Regards,

Eric B. Dowsey

The webinator will walk all the remote sites. There is no extra effort
on your part to index a remote or a local machine. The $700 will allow
you to exceed the 10,000 pages, as well as customize the logo at the top
of the results page. I would suggest that you download the free version
of the Webinator, and walk some of the sites so you can see how easy it
is to do.

The easiest way to order would be to call our main number at (216) 631-8544
and say that you want to purchase a copy of Webinator, and they should be
able to help you there.
