A world dance search engine created by Nik Brown and Silicon Tribe Interactive, dancebot is primarily intended for dancers themselves, especially those looking for contacts and possible work. However, dance fans of all stripes may find the engine a useful way to discover individual dancers, performances, and other related information. The engine does not search the entire Web, but rather a database composed mostly from submissions. Users can search the database by keyword, perform a relational search, or browse by category. Future plans include film and book databases, Sherlock plug-ins (discussed in the
October 16, 1998 Scout Report), and more advanced search options.
