The Search Engine on http://www.uk.amsat.org/search/ uses htDig.

I updated the htDig software in the last few weeks, to the most uptodate
'stable' release. 

This copy runs across three databases:

1	AMSAT-NA Web Site

2	AMSAT-UK Web Site

3	AMSAT-BB Mailing List
	1998	 4497159 bytes	 3171 messages
