These are the web research tools and publications that I get the most out
of. I keep some <A HREF="../../Search/">notes on search technology</A> as
well. (Feb '99: I'm thinking about phasing out this page, because it doesn't
scale with time.)

<P>
<EM>Special thanks to <A HREF="http://www.bsdi.com/hyplan/sanders">Tony
Sanders</A>, who, as I recall, introduced the ACTION attribute on the HTML
FORM element, which makes this page possible; previously, search service
"cover pages" had to be co-located with the search service. Hmmm... sudenly,
I'm not so sure it was Tony. I'll have to go back and check the archives
some time.</EM>
