The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
When evaluating the choices also keep in mind the consumer of the
"service." It's going to be much easier from the client to consume a
service from a web-server (Apache) than it will be to code socket-level
communications to a custom socket-listener program... Sure the
web-server approach requires more code on the client side, but all that
code is already written in a class somewhere so calling a service on a
web-server is one or two lines of code, where calling (correctly) a
custom-socket program is more.
I'd go w/Apache w/out a second thought.

PS. "service" above means just a page that the other machine calls that
returns a pre-determined dataset, not necessarily a SOA web-service
w/WSDL and all that jazz, although a web-service is the "right" way to
do this.
