專案描述

Magellan Metasearch is a modular meta search engine, enabling users
to monitor as many search engines as they want. It provides a complex
query language with standard boolean operators, meta-operators (to
search through pages' metadata), and proximity operators. This language
enables users to perform far more complex queries than what common
search engines currently support. It can be fed any custom sources,
since its abstraction layer manages the search results and their meta
tags in a uniform way. In conjunction with the local process scheduler
(such as "cron"), Magellan enables you to save your requests and replay
them later automatically; new results are sent through email and RSS
in realtime. Magellan also provides full anonymity through smart
multi-proxy support.

1.4.2

This release enhances the automated parsing mechanism; the engine now remembers the path to search results within the HTML pages so that it doesn't get fooled with small result sets. Moreover, new virtual sources are automatically tested on creation / update to check their validity.

1.4.0

A new online update mechanism has been added, allowing users to
interactively download new sources from a central server. The GUI
has been redesigned in order to shorten navigation paths for the
most common tasks (adding / editing a request). The heuristic
extraction code has been improved, so as to better parse HTML pages
and to decode search results using non-ASCII character sets. RSS
links are now limited by default to the 500 last indexed items. A
command line switch has been added that allows users to
automagically download source code updates.

1.3.0_beta3

This release adds a long-awaited feature: Magellan now enables users to
create their own sources online. Two design modes are available. The
automated mode tries to interpret the HTML output and extract search
results from engines that rely on the URL-TITLE-DESCRIPTION combination.
The manual mode lets the user enter Perl search expressions. Source
drivers are now much more reliable. When a driver doesn't work anymore,
Magellan switches to automated parsing mode and tries to extract search
results, even if the search engine has updated its output format.
