Webglimpse is a fast, flexible search engine for finding information in a related web of pages.
| Who are you guys, anyway? | Where did Glimpse come from? |
The ability to index pages on remote sites provides a level of power one step above most search engine tools. You can define your own sub-area of the web simply by making a page of links to all relevent sites. Webglimpse will search by following your links, to whatever 'depth' you specify.
Glimpse and Webglimpse were originally developed by a team at the University of Arizona. For more information about the development of Webglimpse, or other projects the glimpse team has done, check out http://glimpse.cs.arizona.edu/webglimpse/index.html
Since 1997 (Webglimpse version 1.2), development has been continued by Internet WorkShop. The main work is done in house, but several users around the world have also contributed valuable fixes and features. We use an open code model and license-for-work, in which anyone can receive a license in exchange for doing development, testing or documentation.
Note - glimpse 4.0 and earlier did not require a license for commercial use; that requirement became effective with the release of glimpse 4.1. Sorry for previous information posted here that stated the licenses were the same, that was incorrect. Back to top
