Thunderstone Software announced its sale of a search system for the Hollywood.com website.

Thunderstone's Webinator product will provide an up-to-date indexing of around one million movie reviews, entertainment listings, and related information appearing on the re-designed new and improved Hollywood.com web site.

Webinator is one of the original web-search software products, introduced in 1995 and now in major release 5. Webinator powers search features for many hundreds of web sites in many languages around the world.

Hollywood.com is one of the leading movie-related sites on the Internet, featuring movie reviews, showtimes listings, entertainment news, and an extensive multimedia library. Hollywood.com serves more than one billion web pages annually.

"We found Webinator the best technology for searching our content under our requirements," said Laurie S. Silvers, President of Hollywood.com. "Its many advanced features were crucial, such as its ability to reindex fast-changing subsets of the site quickly, and its ability to crawl through JavaScript links. Our site structure is somewhat complicated but Webinator handles it beautifully."

Thunderstone's general manager, John Turnbull, said: "We built many features into Webinator to optimize it for indexing large complex web sites. We're happy to see that effort put to good use on Hollywood.com."

Thunderstone's Webinator is available in a variety of configurations including a free version.
