It is an early example of the post-Google generation of online search tools, capable of being more finely tuned to the individual needs of the user.
In the case of TimeSearch the user will be anyone interested in history. This may sound restricting. But yesterday is history. After lunch, this morning is history. The raw material of TimeSearch is events of any kind, whenever they may have happened.

The concept from the start was that HistoryWorld must be extremely interactive in its presentation and retrieval systems. It was also a central theme that the content must be properly indexed, in the traditional way, rather than relying on the erratic results of word searches.
