For all LIS-LINKers who have been following the various threads on
AltaVista Oddities, here is a possible explanation of *some* of its
erratic behaviour from the Search Engine Watch newsletter:
> Some readers have reported problems with pages going missing or
> strange results at AltaVista over the past month. Rubinson said
> this is related to engineering works that have gone on, and the
> problems should be over now.
My first thought was that Rubinson must have worked for British Rail
or Railtrack st some time:-)
My second thought was to try out AV again with the examples reported
on LIS-LINK. I did and it is still behaving "oddly" :-((((
Sorry - excuse not good enough!
