Phantom is the Web crawler and search engine that cuts through the information-overload to make the Web accessible. With Phantom, Webmasters can crawl targeted Web servers (or whole sites) automatically and create an index of their content. Once scanned, users of the Web site can perform searches using simple queries that will return targeted, meaningful results. Phantom also provides the Webmaster with powerful site management capabilities such as server mirroring and archiving, broken link detection, automatic updates, and more.

By scanning servers using the Web, Phantom allows seamless searches of multiple servers. In fact, any number of Web sites can be indexed and searched by a single Phantom server. So, in addition to providing users an easy way to search their sites, Webmasters can also provide search capability for other related sites.

For Large Web Site Developers

Phantom is an essential tool for Webmasters in organizations with multiple Web servers. Because Phantom scans content via the Web rather than the local file system, it can automatically perform seamless searches for all the servers at an organization, making the entire site more accessible. In addition to providing simplified access to the site, Phantom can make the site feel more consistent, addressing the disjointed feeling common on multi-server Web sites. Plus, Phantom gives the organization a single repository for backing up all the content on the various servers, while providing search capability for potentially hundreds of servers from a single CPU.

The Web Crawler, Indexer And Search Engine

Phantom is a site search engine that allows users to search the content of your web site or web sites you specify. Phantom is the easiest way to add searching capability to your site, but Phantom does much more. Since it can crawl remote sites via the web, as well as local files, Phantom can index a group of sites on a related topic. Phantom is also ideal for creating a central index for all of your organization's intranet servers.

The Easiest Way to Add "Search This Site"

When users visit your Web site looking for something in particular, they want to find it as quickly and easily as possible. While there is no substitute for a well-designed site, Web surfers know that the "Search This Site" button is the fastest way to find what they are looking for. Phantom makes this easy for you with a straightforward Web-based administration interface. Integrating with your site is simply a matter of adding HTML- you can completely customize Phantom's look and feel, even translate into another language!

For Webmasters Trying To Attract Visitors

Phantom simply makes the Web more manageable for users. By providing search capabilities for a range of servers related to a particular topic, Webmasters can attract visitors to their Web site. With minimal effort, the Webmaster can create a resource for their users that will virtually ensure that their site becomes a favorite "bookmark". And the users visiting the site will be the right visitors... Frequent Web users with a specific interest in the topic represented by the Web site. Phantom's built-in advertising module will let you turn users into profit.

For Intranet Professionals

Many Webmasters not only develop content to be read by visitors outside of their organization, but also support Internet use by people within their company. Phantom is the perfect way to easily add value for their internal users by scanning related servers on the Web. For example, a biomedical company could use Phantom to search biomedical Web sites, or an engineering professor could use Phantom to scan servers related to his students' coursework. Local Internet users then have a tailor-made starting point for finding information related to their field. Phantom's scheduled crawls will automatically keep the indexes up to date, and agents give Phantom the ability to proactively tell users about new content available on the Web.

Advanced Features for Your Users

Not only does Phantom include the searching options that users expect, but it has more advanced features that will turn your site into an information resource. Agent technology will automatically send users e-mail messages when new or updated information becomes available. Users create Agents themselves so they will only get information they are interested in, not junk mail. Updated information can be any part of your site or another site -- other departments, suppliers or even competitors, too!

Advanced Features for the Webmaster

Phantom's straightforward Web interface lets you administer it from anywhere on the Internet. Phantom also does automatic data backups and updates to make administration easier. Automatic site maps can enhance your site, and site mirroring makes it easy to bring remote sites to you.
