The new index is available at http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/Index.html (as well
as at the old address: Index.ind). Please try it out, and let me know what
you think. Below I include the instructions.

==============================================================
Full-text search
If your title search does not produce any results, you may try the
full-text search:
This searches through the text (not titles or other fields) of all nodes
in the Principia Cybernetica Web. It does not include the "primitive
concepts", the Glossary on Cybernetics and Systems Theory, the files from
our FTP-archive, or the "related resources".
Instructions
Full-text search will accept words without the ending characters, but not
without initial characters. E.g. 'system' will find "systemic", and
"Systems", but not "metasystem". It does not accept Boolean combinations.
Spaces between words will be interpreted as an implied "and", so 'systems
theory' will find all nodes that have both "systems" and "theory" somewhere
in their text (perhaps thousands of characters apart).
Be careful with full-text search: if you enter common strings, such as
'system' or 'cyber', you are likely to get thousands of hits, most of which
have little relevance to your query, and this may take so long that the
server times out.
