Google's solution is simply not scaling. Period. Check out the complaints of massive page loss both on 28th March and 26th April.
A lot of people have been suggesting that Google might move to "mainframes" - although they don't seem to mean zSeries. Perhaps a POWER or BladeServer solution. Perhaps Superdome. Someone from IBM should be talking to these people. And probably is. As for the currency of Google's results - they're ordure (avoiding too many netnanny bounces). I can prove it - I have the logs and I've posted details in many of the webmaster forums. The most intensive spiderer (?) at present is Yahoo, by a country mile. The most up to date index is MSN - no doubt whatsoever about it. Ask is pretty well up there too. Google is MILES behind on both currency and content. Search Usenet for "the Google dance". Check out http://google.fergusons.dk every now and then. (P.S. Object REXX is just GREAT for web server log analysis. Perhaps SAS would be better, but $$$$.) -- Phil Payne http://www.isham-research.co.uk +44 7833 654 800 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
