WebFoil 2.1

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 couldnt 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 sites 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 dont 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.
