spider: Search engines wander over the Internet discovering new or changed html pages. They index the words of declared keywords in them. The Altavista people distribute a free personal spider, Discover 1.1 that will index your local hard disk or arbitary websites. Then you can find stuff in them with the Discover search engine. I find this tool quite useful for searching the JDK source or the complete Javadoc. Note the old Discover 1.0 will not automatically update itself to version 1.1.
