I agree; I certainly didn't mean it to appear as if I'd covered the entire 
subject matter.  :-)

I only wanted to point out that it would be a very poor indexing strategy to 
simply present word hits. In anything pretending to be an "Information Center", 
various weightings must be used, multiple types of indexes should be 
maintained, etc., etc.

And that Infocenter simply seemed to use the barest minimum technology. I have 
no idea what is actually behind it, but I have a good grasp of how useful it's 
been. It looks like a duck to me and it sounds like a duck to me and I'd swear 
it walks like a duck. I vote that it's a duck.
