Please consider Verity, which developed the engine selected by Netscape,
Lotus Notes, Adobe Acrobat, and many other applications.  We have just
received "Best Search Tools" from Web Techniques and Web Review magazines
for our entire product line.  Search'97 Information Server recently shipped
with new automatic summarization, clustering and query-by-example capabilities.
