===Project Alterations===

As the project has progressed there have been a few things that have changed with respect to the original project plan.

It was originally planned to search the entire internet for patterns of interest.  It was quickly realised that this is going to be unachievable within the time frame and resources of this project.  The internet is simply too large and changing too quickly for our techniques and equipment.  For this reason the project goal has been down sized to searching through one website at a time.  That is, there are now constrictions and limits to the size of the search that the software will be subjected to.  The specifications now state that the software will be required to intake a starting URL and search through that website and that website only.  This has given some extra challenges such as dealing with URLs that link to external websites however it will also make the project goal much more manageable and realistic.
