The owner of a new Web site wants his search engine to become an easy way to comb through the open courseware of many colleges.
About 1,800 courses, all from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are indexed on OCW Search for starters, says the operator, Pierre Far. Polling on the Web site, which went online this week, will determine what courses to add next; those at Stanford University are in the lead, and Mr. Far plans to add them in the next few days.
UPDATE: Stanford Engineering Everywhere OCW Material Has Been Added to OCW Search.

OCW Search downloads the contents of each course and indexes its text. That allows for descriptions more detailed than those available through Google searches.
