> <SPAN
CLASS="application"

full-featured <ACRONYM
CLASS="acronym"
>SQL</ACRONYM
> based web search engine.
<SPAN
CLASS="application"
>mnoGoSearch</SPAN
> consists of two
parts. The first part is an indexing mechanism - <SPAN
CLASS="application"
>indexer</SPAN
>.
<SPAN
CLASS="application"
>indexer</SPAN
> walks over <ACRONYM
CLASS="acronym"
>HTML</ACRONYM
>
hypertext links and stores information about the documents
in the database. The second part is a Web <ACRONYM
CLASS="acronym"
>CGI</ACRONYM
>
front-end <SPAN
CLASS="application"
>search.cgi</SPAN
> which
displays <ACRONYM
CLASS="acronym"
>HTML</ACRONYM
> form and search results
in the browser. <SPAN
CLASS="application"
>search.cgi</SPAN
> uses
information collected by <SPAN
CLASS="application"

acquired by <TT

2000 and its name changed to <SPAN
