Get it from ftp.cnidr.org. Personally I've got a couple of gripes with Isearch. First off, you can't search across multiple databases (kinda like the freebsd mailing list search stuff can). It also seems to have problems indexing large amounts of documents if you don't explicitly tell it to use more memory (if you do tell it to, it deos work fine). Unfortunately, it's also kinda looking like development is basically dead on the Isearch package. The last real version was 1.14, and they had a 1.20 that was in their untested dir, but neither have been touched in ages. Gary Schrock root@eyelab.msu.edu
