Quoting from Geert Jan de Groot's message:
As a temporary workaround, telnet to info.ripe.net, select WAIS, select ripe-database and search on lockton.
It's not perfect and it's ugly, but it works. Having some experience with lynx helps ;-)
You can also use a user friendly WAIS interface to the RIPE database at http://www.nis.garr.it/cgi-bin/HY/rc?/who/conf Click on RIPE-NCC database located at GARR/NIS and on continue button Then you can either search for specific fields or full-text or combine them with logic operators. Cheers, Blasco
For those with WAIS clients installed, have a look at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/wais-sources/*

Hi folks,
At the last RIPE meeting there was some discussion about which attributes would be useful to keep indices on. Well, since our office move last weekend, I came up with a (rather predictable) one:
$ whois -i ad "Lockton House"
% ignored attribute "address" since it is not indexed as a reference
% no attributes specified for -i query
$ _
Dang! It would be nice to have an index on address, although such an index might become veeerrrry large, due to the fact that you can specify multiple "address" attributes per object; dunno.
Any thoughts?
Cheers, Steven
