No and Yes. The reason I like it is 'coz I let it go and it gets it for me. It's automated indexing, tweakable for min' word length, commonality etc. I fire it up every so often (could be cron) to keep the index fairly current, add sites as I stumble upon them and index them as I add them. I've adapted some code to allow for batch indexing, site status etc. The admin interface lets you weight keywords/urls/descriptions/titles etc to help tune your results... Hey! it's an algorithm. I've found where to fiddle with that bit too!

Precisely what is automatically indexed?

In a smaller population it is much easier to introduce language as a third dimension. This was only one example. There are infinite other examples.

Two examples:

1. You construct a bot that sends you a SMS when a put price on the NASDAQ future crosses a treshold. Who pays for that SMS?
2. You construct a bot that inform you as above or otherwise that there is too much traffic on your site.
3. Alternativley there are too many bad bots (e. g. not respecting robots.txt) stealing your bandwith and content.
