Welcome to the Fedora community. We would like to invite you to post
questions of this kind using the mailing list at
fedora-commons-users@lists.sourceforge.net as the most effective place
to get answers using the power of the community of users. You will need
to create an account at Source Forge but they are free and you can
remove yourself from the list at any time. Future information requests
should go to the list so we all can benefit and because I certainly
don't know all the answers.
I am not certain that I understand exactly what you are asking. Fedora
is not a search engine though it interfaces well with search engines and
other indexing solutions such as Mulgara, a semantic triplestore. There
is a pattern for using Fedora called "third party" annotation in which
you use Fedora's capability to act as a mediator to other sites but you
also create your own content in Fedora "about" the other site's content
(which remains where it is). Anything that is harvested into the
various search/query tools attached to Fedora can be part of the query.
It is possible to use custom services in Fedora to query remote sites
but if this is your only purpose there is not enough advantage in using
Fedora in its current form for the effort needed to include it into your
system. Of course, you can use Fedora with your own applications or
search/query tools but there is some work that is needed to integrate them.
I hope this was useful. Please keep asking questions on the mailing
list to see if Fedora is right for your application.
I am also posting this message to the mailing list so you can look there
for additional answers.

Hello,

For example, crawling the Christie's ans Sotheby's webs and can search
auctions by date in my fedora installation.
Thanks in advance. Regards,
