Project Description

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.

1.2.2

Alerts can now be dispatched through an elaborate
personal subscription-based mailing list, enabling
users to subscribe to alerts that others have
configured. The whole tool's configuration can now
be done online. Each user can be assigned a
specific set of configuration parameters,
including interface module, proxy support, load
balancing policy, etc. Users are now divided in
different groups according to their access level:
administrators, managers, and users. Higher level
users can change the access permisions of others,
including enabled actions and sources.

1.2.1

The clustering system now supports multiple
exclusion filters in order to hide results that
match a series of specific criteria. This allows
for elaborated strategies to get rid of parasitic
results and to refine existing requests. This
feature also applies to RSS feeds. Some debugging
has also been done on the Google Groups driver.
