In this article, we present a web-search ant-agent inspired by ethology and robotics. We detail its implementation on a set of FIPAOS platforms and show useful results in route finding and re-routing. Finally, we discuss its interest and drawbacks in comparison with classical search engines and give perspectives to overcome them.
