More attributes for indexing?

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.
