Hi all,

Just a quick memo to let you know that the Harpoon Search freesite search
engine,
http://harpoonsearch.cjb.net,
is once again in full-time service.

Apologies for some intermittent outage over the weekend while Harpoon was
being moved to its new home on a permanent 24/7 Linux server. As part of the
move to Linux, a regular freesite crawl is cron'ed for 00:03:00 GMT daily.
The crawl takes approx 4 hours, so after about 04:00:00GMT daily, you'll be
guaranteed fresh results with your searches, and before that time, your
search results will be no more than 24 hours old.

Upcoming features will be:

* a CGI script for submitting new freesites (better for anonymity, since
anonymous web proxies are easier to find than anonymous remailers).

* Categorised index pointing to lots of handy websites and freesites

Lastly, there are only 2 criteria for accepting site submissions:

1) The site *must* be visible!!
Harpoon Search, due to automatic addition of new freesites, is uncensored.
But it will (ovbiously) reject any sites it can't load!! So if you're
submitting a site, *please* make sure it's visible, current, and inserted at
htl > 40 (preferably 50 or more).

2) The site *must* be a standard 'MSK@SSK@blahblah/sitename//' freesite.
Anything that can't be reached through a MSK@SSK@ URI will *not* be included
in Harpoon's crawl.

Regards
the Harpoon Search team
