It's a searchable server. The header contains the tag <ISMAP>.

To quote myself: :-)
Keyword searches are a server feature, so there is not much that
either you as a document author or the browser writers could do.
The CERN httpd supports keyword searches directly, the one from
NCSA needs a little tweaking. For both servers, additional index
software has to be set up.

Some people on the Net use WAISINDEX for this purpose, a simple
alternative is the ICE server extension developed at the
Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics. A new version is
soon to be released, webbers interested in this subject can
take a look at "http://icib.igd.fhg.de/~neuss/w4-main.html".

The paper will  be presented at the WWW94 conference end of
may. Guess what App I used for the screenshots :-) :-) :-)
I even had to change the .nib file to get "Searc" to look
like "Search" ;-)
Change this dudes.

Keep up the good work,
Chris
