AttSearchEngine for UserLand Frontier and Radio Userland

AttSearchEngine stands for Attribute Search Engine.

It's a tool for indexing the attributes, or properties, of objects in a database, and for searching the indices that it creates. Use it as the engine behind a Frontier™- or Radio™-based web search engine, or for performing queries on databases which are completely unrelated to the web. It indexes more than just text. A lot more.

AttSearchEngine is a developer's tool. There's no user interface, because it's not a tool for users. You build the AttSearchEngine into your software or project.

Macrobyte Resources uses the AttSearchEngine in Conversant, where it's responsible for much of Conversant's impressive message-search capabilities.
