Exalead Refreshed and has RSS
Exalead: A Potentially Powerful New Search Engine by Mary Ellen Bates, Virtual Chase (June 2005) - has a few tips on how to use Exalead but is alarmed, as I have been, about the oldness of the content. When she wrote her article there had been no updates since December 2004. Concludes, " use the search engine to find older material, or to verify spelling, identify alternative word meanings or find authoritative material from sites that have a track record."
BUT - good news - Exalead has refreshed its database. Now when you sort results from new to old (do this through Advanced), you'll see many April 2005 dates and a few from May. It's better, but we hope that Exalead adopts a regular monthly schedule for updating the database.
New feature has appeared too - Exalead marks sites that have RSS feeds. Click on the button to get the xml page. Exalead also has a button to list only those pages with RSS feeds.
