WebFoil
-
Version
2.01
WebFoil simplifies the task of searching the World
Wide Web by simultaneously querying the most popular
on-line search engines straight from your desktop.
With a simple, intuitive interface and over 80 search
engines grouped into 18 categories and 2 channels
finding almost anything on the web couldn't be easier.
Simply select a category, enter the search word(s) you
want to look for and click a button. The results are
quickly returned in an easy to read format ready for
you to look at. You can view each site's description
simply by moving the mouse over it and sort the
results by any column with a simple mouse click. Each
result is displayed as soon as it is retrieved so you
don't need to wait for the search to finish to act on
them.
WebFoil also has many powerful features. Results can
be saved for later or you can export them as a text or
html file. You can even customize the html to suit
your own needs. Advanced filtering options let you
remove duplicates and other unwanted results and in
some categories you can even filter results by date.
Results can also be validated to determine if the web
pages exist before you bother to view them. WebFoil
even has a powerful built-in language for creating
categories and search engines so you can add your own
favorites. A built-in download client is also included
so you can download data and mp3 files straight to
your computer. Some categories even use a fast built-
in viewer to open results.
Bundled with version 2 is the "WebFoil Quick Search"
utility. This is a small application that sits in the
system tray next to the clock and uses the same search
engines, categories and channels as WebFoil giving you
and even easier way to search. Simply click on the
icon, select a category and enter your search
words. "WebFoil Quick Search" will search in the
background and when complete, the results are sent
straight to your web browser ready for you to view.
