You were using Excite's search engine, correct?  If so, then the
following might be applicable:

  "The security hole can be corrected by replacing single Perl library
file
   that is part of the EWS1.1 distribution.  There are two new versions
of
   this file available at http://www.excite.com/navigate/patches.html. 
One
   version is for Unix platforms, the other is for Windows NT platforms.
   Changes are confined to two subroutines within the architext_query.pl
   library file.  The subroutines in question are 'MakeQuery' and
   'MakeGather'."
