This class is a Magellan specialization of WWW::Search. It handles making and interpreting Magellan searches *http://www.mckinley.com*. This class exports no public interface; all interaction should be done through the *WWW::Search* manpage objects. To make new back-ends, see the *WWW::Search* manpage. Please tell the author if you find any! This module adheres to the `WWW::Search` test suite mechanism.  As of 1998-03-17, `WWW::Search::Magellan` is maintained by Martin Thurn (MartinThurn@iname.com). `WWW::Search::Magellan` was originally written by Martin Thurn based on `WWW::Search::WebCrawler`.
