Intelligent Agent With the ISYS Intelligent Agent, you can keep an eye out for information
that matches your specific search criteria. Put an ISYS Super Sleuth
on the case and the minute the Spider updates your index with information
that matches your criteria, the Agent will notify you.
Highly Configurable The Spider is highly configurable and you have complete control
over its scope. One of the major problems with using the Internet search
engines is that they crawl aimlessly over the Internet, indexing everything
in their path. With ISYS:spider, you can specify exactly what you want
indexed, even down to particular pages of a web site. Define a maximum
number of levels to drill down into a site, which hyperlinks to follow,
whether or not to enter password-protected sites and whether or not
to respect the robot exclusion protocol.
Run Multiple Spiders Concurrently There is no limit to how many spiders you may have running at the
one time or how many sites you may index. ISYS:spider can run at whatever
intervals you set, continuously, on request or at certain times each
week.
Sitemap Aware
Just as Google, Yahoo! and MSN leverage sitemaps to crawl the entire World Wide Web in a faster, more seamless fashion, ISYS:spider also takes advantage of sitemaps to more intelligently traverse the sites you nominate. This is particularly valuable when using ISYS to index dynamic content or when greater editorial control over the indexing process is required.
Automatic Index Updates It's up to you when your ISYS indexes are updated. Updates can occur
when the Spider has finished, at regular intervals or at certain times
of the day. The ISYS index remains fully functional during the spidering
process.
Lotus Notes When indexing Lotus Notes, ISYS:spider is smart enough to recognize
the same information represented in different views and only index it
once.
