<br>Subject: ADS Site Search Resumes
<br>
<br>I have finally received the serial number to take our ADS Site search
<br>engine beyond the demo stage. You can, once again, search the ADS-L
<br>archives and the American Speech indexes. Please accept my apologies
<br>for the delay.
<br>
<br>One a side note: I will be in Missouri from Friday June 19 to Monday
<br>June 29. I will be checking email (with my new Palm Pilot III, a
<br>magical invention), attending a landmark anniversary dinner for my
<br>parents, attending my high school reunion and riding round-trip on the
<br>Katy Trail (about 360 miles).
<br>
<br>Second side note: Today I analyzed the web site logs and found that
<br>besides hits off of search engines in which the visitor stays about ten
<br>seconds (we were obviously not what they were looking for), we receive
<br>most of our linked visits from the DARE page
<br>(http://polyglot.lss.wisc.edu/dare/dare.html), Jesse Sheidlower's page
<br>at Random House (http://www.randomhouse.com/jesse/links.html) and our
<br>page at the American Council of Learned Societies
<br>(http://www.acls.org/adials.htm). Most of the rest of the visits are
<br>from crawlers/email-address-grabbers and folks who entered the site
<br>address manually or have it bookmarked.
