I have updated the survey of UK University indexing software.

The URL http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/surveys/uk-he-search-engines/
contains a link to the updated survey and details of changes (plus links
to the original survey and Ariadne article).

Main changes seem to be:

  o Sites which didn't have a search facility adding one.  Now mostly
smaller colleges which don't appear to have a search facility
  o ht://Dig is gaining a lot of the new sites (and also sites which are
changing their search facility)
  o A number of sites have moved away from Harvest

I'm giving a talk on "Finding Resources on your Web Site" at the
Internet Librarian International conference in March based on this
survey (and related work).  Slides at:

Comments welcome.
