[MCN-L] MWeb Universal

[Waibel,Guenter]

Hi Stephen,

How do you deal with ranking search results from various sources?

The Baltimore example seems to side-step ranking. It displays hits segregated by database.

Cheers,

Günter

Thanks, Chuck,

Actually MWeb Universal can do that now. Try 
http://searchbaltimore.pastperfect-online.com
to search a consortium of three Baltimore museums.

The current release is suitable for consortia of any museums, not just
PastPerfect sites, since it can search any CMSs or databases without
exporting, FTPing or Z39.50. 

MWeb Universal has been tested with 50 databases at once.

Thanks!
Stephen
