CADoogle
Back in September 2006, Autodesk introduced Autodesk Labs. One of the items on display was Project Freewheel (http://dwfit.com) – both a web-site where you can enter a DWF url for interactive viewing and a web-service that allows you to embed an interactive DWF viewer in your own HTML page.
Now, CADoogle (http://cadoogle.com/) uses the Autodesk Freewheel together with Google Search technology to display views of DWF files. Both 2D and 3D dwf data can be displayed, although it wasn’t exactly promising when the following error appeared when I was using it this morning.
An error occurred!
Error: SOAP-ENV:Server: Exception from service object: Daily limit of 1000 queries exceeded for key H/ufNfpQFHIXOhEAuGHVIRl59K66koWo
(But I guess it is still only a Beta version 
)
When it was working, I did a search for “Robot” and obtained 130 hits in a reported 0.03 seconds. There was a slight pause before the first 5 items appeared and here is the first hit. (Hint: Try it out in the frame below.)
Currently , the system will only search on keywords found in the name of the dwf files.
A special version is available for Mobile devices and you can use also use an RSS feed.
