An article giving an update of a survey of search engines used in UK HEIs is now available at: http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue30/web-watch/ The findings are available at: http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/surveys/uk-he-search-engines/2002-01/ Comparisons have been made with the original survey in Sept 1997. Note that in order to assist institutions which would like to compare search engines we have indexed our Exploit Interactive ejournal (which has been replaced by Cultivate Interactive so the Web site is now static) with a number of search engines. To use it go to: http://www.exploit-lib.org/search/multiple.asp If anyone would like to index www.exploit-lib.org with their own search engine, in order to increase the range of tools, please get in touch. Note that one commercial company (ISYS at http://www.isysuk.co.uk/) have agreed to take part in this comparison and would, I'm sure, welcome enquiries from anyone who'd like to know more about their product. As usual, please let me know if the details for your institution are incorrect.
