Nassau, January 10, 2002 - Bahamas Gateway (BGW) today launched a search engine on its web site that will allow visitors to search not only Bahamasgateway.com but also hundreds of other selected small and large Bahamian web sites.

Many Bahamian web sites do not have content search capability for visitors. The vast majority of the owners of these web sites do not have the time or resources to create and maintain a search capability.

BGW has installed a Search Engine package named 'HUNTER' from Global Millennia Marketing of Montreal, Canada. HUNTER acts as a Search Engine not only for a local web site or Intranet but also as a "Content Aggregator". HUNTER not only handles and maintains indexes of Bahamasgateway.com but also functions as a true Internet search engine allowing site submission and spidering of other Bahamian web sites or selected content pages.

HUNTER is smaller than Google or Altavista, but it is qualitatively identical to them. It has its own built-in web robot for retrieving files, which means it is not limited to searching only documents on its own web site. It builds its own index files and returns results from them, unlike some "meta-search" scripts which make behind-the-scenes requests to major search engines to gather results.

Dolores Lleida of Bahamas Gateway said, " We have over 400 pages of Bahamian content on our web site and many advertisers, yet we receive many emails per day for further information. With the new search engine built to display many thousands of pages from hundreds of Bahamian web sites plus our newly installed Bulletin Board we believe that Internet visitors can find the content and vacation information they need immediately."

Any web site containing Bahamian information such as hotels, diving schools, marinas, golf courses, craft shops, restaurants, etc. may have their web site pages listed freely by visiting Bahamasgateway.com and submitting their web pages. A further advantage is that any web site may freely copy the BGW search box onto their web site.

Bahamas Gateway (Nassau & Miami) is a new exciting marketing and web design company for the Bahamas and owns www.Bahamasgateway.com, a rapidly expanding Bahamian Internet Portal.

Utilizing the latest technologies, with hundreds of visitors per day and thousands of pages being viewed monthly www.Bahamasgateway.com offers a growing base of information to potential travelers to the Bahamas, plus cost-effective solutions for Bahamian businesses to take their businesses on-line and advertise their services to the World.

'HUNTER' is made available from Global Millennia Marketing www.Globalmillenniamarketing.com an E-Business Community Development company in Montreal, Canada.
