Thunderstone Announces JavaScript Search Capability
7/30/2002

Thunderstone Software announced the ability to index JavaScript hyperlinks and JavaScript dynamic content. The new capability is bundled with Thunderstone's Texis search software and is available immediately. Sites have grown increasingly dependent on JavaScript-enabled browsers.

Texis also provides a broad range of other data discovery and indexing techniques. That includes indexing 'deep' information such as database content and newswire feeds, or even results from other search engines, all of which may be continually changing. Thunderstone is offering a free trial of the JavaScript link crawler through Oct. 30. The feature is included with Thunderstone's Webinator web-site indexing product. Anyone who administers a web site may download a full working copy via the link on Thunderstone's home page, at www.thunderstone.com
