Namazu (Search Engine)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Namazu is a free full-text search engine software under GPL licence, originally developed by Satoru Takabayashi. It can work as a scale Web search engine, and also as a desktop search for email or other files. It is written in Perl. Computer software, or just software, is the collection of computer programs and related data that provide the instructions telling a computer what to do. The term was coined to contrast to the old term hardware (meaning physical devices). In contrast to hardware, software is intangible, meaning it "cannot be touched". Software is also sometimes used in a more narrow sense, meaning application software only. Sometimes the term includes data that has not traditionally been associated with computers, such as film, tapes and records.
