 Merger of Estraiers, implemented with JavaScript

This directory contains a sample implementation of meta search system
of Estraier.  It is implemented with JavaScript and DOM API.

To begin with, edit `iform.js' and set targets of meta search.  Each
target has the label and the URL.  URLs should be relative from the
document root directory of the web server.  Modify definition of the
array `targets' at the beggining of the file.  For Example, if the
targets are the two; one's URL is `/foo/estsearch.cgi' and its label
is `Foo', the other's URL is `/bar/estsearch.cgi' and its label is
`Bar', define the array as with the following.

  var targets = new Array(
    'Foo', '/foo/estsearch.cgi',
    'Bar', '/bar/estsearch.cgi',
    null
  );

Search targets should be run with Estraier version 1.1.5 or later.
By the way, JavaScript in a file can access only resources on the
same server, due to security reason.  So, If you want to search
resources over plural servers, you should use a reverse proxy.

Then, access `start.html' with a web browser supporting JavaScript.
At least, the following products are okey.

  - Netscape 7.0 or later
  - Mozilla Firefox 0.8 or later
  - Internet Explorer 6.0 or later

This implementation is just a sample and experiment.  I thihk that
JavaScript is not good enough to implement a practical meta search
system.  If you implement another meta search system, you should
use another language.

Thanks.
