A key new feature in Surfboard 2.0 is support for saved, reusable queries, Fulcrum SearchObjects, that can be created by individual users for personal use or by administrators for public use. In addition, support for distributed searching, a key requirement for the corporate Intranet, remains a key feature for version 2.0. Fulcrum has leveraged the fit with the Microsoft Windows NT platform to greatly simplify installation and administration. Surfboard 2.0 also gains significant new search functionality, like configurable HTML-based templates for results lists, and enhanced support for HTML and Adobe PDF file formats. Fulcrum Surfboard will be available at the end of April 1996.
