SWISH was created by Kevin Hughes to fill the need of the growing number of Web administrators on the Internet - many of the indexing systems were not well documented, were hard to use and install, and were too complex for their own good. The system was widely used for several years, long enough to collect some bug fixes and requests for enhancements. In Fall 1996, The Library of UC Berkeley received permission from Kevin Hughes to implement bug fixes and enhancements to the original binary. The result is SWISH-Enhanced or SWISH-E, brought to you by the SWISH-E Development Team. For more information about it's strengths, see SWISH-E Features. The SWISH-E release also includes AutoSwish, a Perl program that makes setting up, indexing, and maintaining your SWISH-E indexes a breeze. To see it in action, go to the AutoSwish Demonstration.
