           [2.2] textz.com/zeitgeist
         ----------------------------------------------------------------

         we are glad to announce the launch of our new statistics section
         "textz.com zeitgeist - text patterns, trends, and surprises acc-
         ording to textz.com". if you are at least a little familiar with
         http://google.com/press/zeitgeist.html then you've got the idea.
         textz.com/zeitgeist is located at > http://textz.com/zeitgeist <

           [2.3] textz.com full text search
         ----------------------------------------------------------------

         we have also released a first beta version of our brand new full
         text search engine. actually, it is not exactly *our* search en-
         gine but a very simple google search results parser. if you read
         php, the code below will give you an idea. the find button is up
         and working, and both quality and quantity of results is expect-
         ed to rise in the coming weeks.

     function search($q) {
       $f - pfsockopen("google.com", 80, $error, $message, 1000);
       if (!$f)
         return "Error $error $message";
       fputs($f, "GET /search?q-site:textz.gnutenberg.net+$q&num-1000
");
       fputs($f, "HTTP/1.0\r\n");
       fputs($f, "User Agent: Rolux Internet Implorer\r\n");
       fputs($f, "Host: www.google.com\r\n");
       fputs($f, "\r\n");
       while (!feof($f))
         $google .- fgetc($f);
       fclose($f);
       $data - explode("<p><a href-http://textz.gnutenberg.net/textz/
", $google);
       for ($i - 1; $i < count($data); $i++) {
         $data_ - explode(">", $data[$i]);
         if ($i > 1)
           $result .- " | ";
         $result .- $data_[0];
       }
       return $result;
     }
