oops, correction here. I've just noticed that Blue Window sear.ch
appears to have moved from using Excite to using Altavista as their
engine (which, after a bit of fiddling, means that even the bare-bones
spacesearch C cgi is now up to a menu of thirteen different
full-url-space engines to choose from.) Searching for
url:xent.ics.uci.edu/FoRK-archive
on sear.ch gives a respectable 1320 documents. When compared to

for 'xent', it's still a no-brainer:
