If you run your intranet on Unix HTTPd servers, you owe yourself a peek at Glimpse. Next, download the Perl script GlimpseHTTP , currently at version 2.0. It's confusing, but accurately describes a number of OS-dependencies. The next step is to build an index using the program glimpseindex . Once glimpse is strutting its stuff from the command line, you're ready to install the front end.
Documentation consists of a number of HTML files.
Glimpse is not automatically aware of changes to your source documents. Then run ghinstall , furnishing the requested pathnames and preferences. The final step in setting up GlimpseHTTP is to create a search archive using the script makegharc . At this point, you've installed Glimpse and GlimpseHTTP, built an index, and created an archive. Now it's time to put an intranet face on your search engine.
