Yahoo has begun indexing the World Wide Web with its third-generation software, Slurp 3.0, the company said Monday.
"With everything now in place, the rollout has officially begun," Sharad Verma and Yoram Arnon said in a posting to Yahoo's search blog on Monday.
Unlike top search rival Google, which on Friday revealed its indexing software now is trying to uncover previously hidden pages by filling in Web pages' forms, Yahoo didn't detail what's new with its indexing software.
The company did advise those who watch for indexing software (sometimes called bots, crawlers, and spiders) as it visits their site to update their methodology from the Slurp 2.0 days.

- Hi Stephen!
I would draw your attention on more compatible and advanced indexing software. You can become a www.omfica.org member, as I did. A lot of supportive information and interesting ideas for postings and articles...At least for me :))))
