This depends a lot on what these "remote sites" are. If you're dealing with a reasonably small number of sites that you can index regularly with htdig, and you have disk space for an index of these sites, then the project seems feasible. If these remote sites can potentially be any web sites out on the Internet, then you'd be better off sending the queries off to a general web search engine like Google. In either case, it seems to me the bulk of this project would be to design the system that takes user requests, queues them up, and then runs the queries one by one and mails the results. I think a discussion of how to do this is way beyond the scope of this mailing list. -- Gilles R.
