No, glimpse is removed from the Debian archive for good due to the
fact that there was no new upload for almost three years and it had a
grave security bug since March 2000.  Newer upstream versions of
glimpse seems to have unacceptable license for Debian.

You could try `htdig', `namazu' or `swish++' for indexing your
documents.
