We are very impressed with your Webinator indexing and searching
utility. It allows us to index other web servers at affiliated
institutions, and provides ranked results with a variety of search
options.
I will echo the remarks seen recently on this list: we'd like to keep
a log of each search query performed by the Webinator, preferably with
the NUMBER OF SECONDS required for each search. This is important for
performance evaluation on our web servers.
As I begin to move webinator into production use I am struck by
another important issue. We need to recreate each index on a weekly
basis but we want the existing index to remain available during this
process. It takes about 12 hours to create the index. Can we create
the index in a separate directory, and then move it to the real
location when it's complete?
