What is Phantom?

Running on your web server, Phantom makes it possible for users to search your web site or other web sites. Phantom works like AltaVista (but on a smaller scale) so it can provide searching for remote web sites you specify using its built-in web crawler.

Phantom supports indexing thousands of documents in a variety of formats including text, HTML and PDF. With its HTML form interface and web-based administration, Phantom makes it simple to implement basic searching but is also completely customizable for the more advanced Webmaster.
