[note on technique: phrases above are searched for on google.com. phrases are first entered between quotation marks, which makes google look for citations that match the chosen phrase exactly; if no citations exist, however, the eyeshot staff enters the phrase again, but this time without quotation marks, which eases things up for google, enabling it to track down pages on which all of the words in the phrase appear. the number in white above the lime-green linked phrase is the number of citations found on august 6, 2001. the lime-green phrase is linked to the results of the search, with or without quotation marks.] [note on intention: we have been counciled not to reveal the modern index's intention. however, we'll risk it. we do this because we like words and numbers and the way lime-green and white on an orange background interact with each other in a positive way, especially when you add the red of the eyeshot.net frame and the blue of the pulldown/archive bar thing; it's really something else . . . also, it lets you find pages you maybe wouldn't find otherwise or elsewhere, that is, without a service like eyeshot's modern index.]
