The WebCrawler Index is now available for searching!  The index is broad:
it contains information from as many different servers as possible.  It's
a great tool for locating several different starting points for exploring
by hand.  The current index is based on the contents of documents located
on nearly 4000 servers, world-wide.
 
Check it out at:

Other information is available from there, including a description of the
WebCrawler (the robot itself), and a list of the 25 most frequently
referenced sites on the Web.
