We are shutting down MSU's AltaVista search service. The RAID array on
which the AltaVista index resided did not come back up after the May 5
power shutdown. MSU AltaVista has not been in production since August
of 2003, and its index was incomplete and outdated. Anyone who still
used MSU AltaVista should convert to another service. For MSU content
searches from www.msu.edu will search MSU Keywords and Google's index
of msu.edu. For more information please see:

A small number of campus content providers may still have relied on
"Special Indexes" for their sites.  If this applies to you, you may
want to switch to using Google.  Google lets you restrict searches to
a domain or a URL.  If you are a content provider in this situation,
I'd be glad to discuss this.
