WebFountain, the Long Version

WebFountain is a classic IBM solution to the search problem. Instead of focusing on the consumer market and serving hundreds of millions of users/searches a day, WebFountain is a platform - middleware, in essence - around which large corporate clients connect, query, and develop applications. It serves a tiny fraction of the queries Google does, but my, the queries it serves can be mighty interesting.
