Need to find: Apple e.g.

[dpaanlka]

I want to find this search system for classic Mac web servers (WebStar, ASIP, etc...)

According to apple:

Apple e.g. is a tool that makes it easy for Mac OS-based website administrators to add search and indexing capabilities to a website without having to learn or integrate complex search products.

Using Apple's V-Twin technology, Apple e.g. enables webmasters, with a few mouse clicks, to produce a searchable website, thus allowing client browsers to locate and retrieve information with Apple's classic ease-of-use. Apple's V-Twin techology is a search engine that requires minimal memory and very quickly delivers search results that are relevance ranked, greatly minimizing the time it takes users to find specific information. Apple e.g. is one of many tools provided by Apple that enable Macintosh website administrators to quickly and effectively set up and maintain a website.

I cannot find it anywhere, not even on Apple's web site! Anyone know where I can find it or have a copy?

I believe this is what you're looking for, though I don't have AppleShare IP to test it on. Reading over the Read Me seems to indicate that it is indeed what you're seeking.

I had a heck of a time tracking that one down. Who knew to check the root of Apple's ftp server first?! I checked various mirrors and whatnot to no avail. Some interesting findings here, here, and here (this one is the one I presume you came across in your quoted portion.) I'm not sure how far e.g. evolved, or if it evolved into AppleSearch.acgi, but I believe the items in that dir are beta products.

That was a fun little query, too, because I had no idea this even existed. I now learned that V-Twin was the foundation for Sherlock, and indeed Spotlight!
