  • Icon
    Follow links settings
  • Icon
    Filters and associated scanners
  • Icon
    Sites to scan or search
  • Icon
    Pluginsto use
  • Icon
    Actions to run when the search run is completed
  • Icon
    A schedule

Using these settings, you can create search sets specifically tailored for your research needs. For example, you could create your own sets for:

  • Icon
    Querying the arXiv and NASA sites for information related to astronomy or physics.
  • Icon
    Looking for online articles related to DEVONtechnologies, as well as some Mac news sites, with the search scheduled every three hours and programmed to send a summary to your email address
  • Icon
    Searching the most important medical databases, e.g., PubMed and FDA, in a single search run
  • Icon
    Querying a number of general search engines like Bing, Brave Search, and Yahoo, but filtering out everything except pages with links to Office documents
