+Isearch is software for indexing and searching text documents. It
+supports full text and field based search, relevance ranked results,
+Boolean queries, and heterogeneous databases. Isearch can parse many
+kinds of documents "out of the box," including HTML, mail folders,
+list digests, SGML-style tagged data, and USMARC. It can be extended
+to support other formats by creating descendant classes in C++ that
+define the document structure. It is pretty easy to customize in this
+way, provided that you know some C++. A CGI interface for web based
+searching is also included in the source distribution (but not
+installed by default).
