Received on October 18, 1999 ; revised on December 14, 1999 ; accepted on February 3, 2000

Summary: A general system for performing multiple independent database searches in parallel is presented. Run-time addition and removal of clients, robust failure and error trapping and near 100% efficiency with very large numbers of clients are achieved by a flexible asynchronous, client-driven approach.
