Here a new concept called 'search heuristics' is introduced. A heuristic is a kind of 'shortcut' to good results in IT, here for good search results. In this case it will be used to get a very transparent way to compare what YaCy is able to produce as search result and what g**gle produces as search result. Here is what your can do now:
- add the phrase 'heuristic:scroogle' to your search query, like 'oil spill heuristic:scroogle' and then a call to scroogle is made to get anonymous search results from g**gle.
- these results are _not_ taken as meta-search results, but are used to instantly feed a crawling and indexing process. This happens very fast, here 20 results from scroogle are taken and loaded all simultanously, parsed and indexed immediately and from the results of the parsed content the search result is feeded, along to the normal p2p search
- when new results from that heuristic (more to come) get part of the search results, then it is verified if such results are redundant to existing (they had been part of the normal YaCy search result anyway) or if they had been completely new to YaCy.
- in the search results the new search results from heuristics are marked with a 'H ++' and search results from heuristics that had been already found by YaCy are marked with a 'H ='. That means:
- you can now see YaCy and Scroogle search results in one result page but you also see that you would not have 'missed' the g**gle results when you would only have used YaCy.
- to make it short: YaCy now subsumes g**gle results. If you use only YaCy, you miss nothing.
to come: a configuration page that let you configure the usage of heuristics and get this feature by default.

this was done because that servlet may be used for wget/cronjob
triggered crawl starts and it appears to be confusing that the
name of the crawl start servlet looks like a pure monitoring tool.

- fixes for numerous other problems
- removed dead code
- resdesign of the strings-method, which produces now less memory overhead and may help to prevent OOMs
- another fix for the deadlock problem in SplitTable

- removed the plasma package. The name of that package came from a very early pre-version of YaCy, even before YaCy was named AnomicHTTPProxy. The Proxy project introduced search for cache contents using class files that had been developed during the plasma project. Information from 2002 about plasma can be found here:
http://web.archive.org/web/20020802110827/http://anomic.de/AnomicPlasma/index.html
We stil have one class that comes mostly unchanged from the plasma project, the Condenser class. But this is now part of the document package and all other classes in the plasma package can be assigned to other packages.
- cleaned up the http package: better structure of that class and clean isolation of server and client classes. The old HTCache becomes part of the client sub-package of http.
- because the plasmaSwitchboard is now part of the search package all servlets had to be touched to declare a different package source.
