Hi,


Lookup (a swish-e 1.3.3 based searchengine in perl) includes a HTML 
parser module (perl) for extracting the first 300 bytes from the text 
of a HTML page.
Lookup extracts at search-time from the file system, There is another
approach to have a modified spider: http://www.lhsc.on.ca/swish-e/
Storing the abstracts in a GDBM file. (more efficient)
