If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
You might want to consider X-Analysis. It's very easy to use, friendly
with RPGLE and has a host of great options that Hawkeye does not have or
support.

Subject: Hawkeye Pathfinder vs Help/Systems ABSTRACT
Hi folks
I've recently been informed by the company that manages our Pathfinder
support & billing that they are moving to ABSTRACT instead (and
offering a free upgrade). Hawkeye have written to say they are taking
over support & billing for Pathfinder directly.
Pathfinder has been in use here for 15+ years, we're all very familiar
with it, and there's no great incentive to change. More recently
though it hasn't proved quite as useful with RPGLE code (use of the
PREFIX keyword hides field names from the x-ref, etc), and it seems to
have lagged behind OS changes in recent years. I'm going to try
ABSTRACT to see what it offers over Pathfinder, but I'd be interested
in hearing from those who've used (recent versions of) both and can
hopefully give a more objective opinion than the various vendors web
sites.
