Author Open source web crawler
Paul Morrison

Hi,

I have been searching the web for an open source web crawler that takes in a
keyword and crawls sites, relaying articles with that keyword. I have seen
the one on the Sun website,
http://java.sun.com/developer/techn...ty/WebCrawler/, but
that does not work correctly, it gives no results. I have also tried a lot
of crawlers from SourceForge, but to no avail.

I was wondering if anyone had used or knows of a web crawler that would be
suitable for my needs.

Cheers,

Paul Morrison

Google?

(I mean could you use Google to crawl for the information you want; I'm not
suggesting that you do a Google search to find web crawlers.)
