Yes, I saw another reference that seemed to slightly prefer aspseek.  I
have to admit that I'm currently having a hard time telling aspseek not
to search the whole web site, though.  But, it is sort of cool to be
able to search all of sources.redhat.com for a word.

There's also this:  http://www.namazu.org/ .  I just found it by looking
for aspsseek + mhonarc.
