I have added a link to

http://anarky.stsci.edu/brokers/AstroWeb/query.html

in 

http://anarky.stsci.edu/astroweb/search-master.html

There are 56 hits for 'radio' in the WAIS index.
There are 333 hits in the Harvest index.

But then the Harvest index includes 6594 URL's
while the WAIS index only includes 1172 URL's.

The big advantage is a more powerful query interface,
e.g., allows spelling errors, supports regular
expressions and queries on specific fields.

If other people bring up Harvest on their node,
then their 'Broker' can access my 'Gatherer'
and we can distribute the search cycles.
(All the WAIS search cycles are on my machine.
 Not that it matters.)
