SearchBlox Distributed Edition released

The SearchBlox Distributed Edition is a J2EE Search Component for the Akamai
EdgeComputing Platform, a J2EE Application Platform consisting of more than
14,000 servers in more than 1100 networks in over 70 countries. SearchBlox
Distributed Edition can handle search requests concurrently from thousands
of users at any time by distributing the handling of search requests to
thousands of servers on the EdgeComputing Platform. Each of these servers
runs an identical, standalone and special SearchBlox search application that
contains all the components required to handle the search requests. 
   
The Akamai-Certified SearchBlox Distributed Edition offers out-of-the-box
search functionality for fast and easy implementation with your websites,
applications, intranets and portals. SearchBlox uses the Lucene Search API
and incorporates integrated HTTP/HTTPS and File System crawlers, support for
various document formats including HTML, Word, PDF, PowerPoint and Excel,
support for indexing and searching content in 18 languages and customizable
search results, all controlled from a browser-based Admin Console.
