Search sets are sets of parameters and options that control which search engines are used for a search run, which sites are crawled directly, what is filtered, and what is done with the returned results. DEVONagent Pro comes with a number of example search sets to get you started:
-
Apple (Feeds): Crawls some RSS feeds (Downloads, PR and Hot News) provided by Apple.
-
Marketing: Crawls more than 200 IT and Macintosh related news sites and feeds (the default query looks for news related to DEVONtechnologies).
-
Mac > Latest Software: Crawls some software trackers and directories for new releases.
-
Mac > Latest News: Crawls the most popular Macintosh news sites and feeds.
-
Web (Scanner) > Movies: Queries the Web plugin and scans the results for linked movies and videos.
