Hi All,
This item from another list is kind of on the edge between programming
and general applications use. Nevertheless I figured someone on this
list might have some suggestions for accessible spider or web crawl /
search tools.
Here is the original post but I bet many people on this list would be
interested in the answers.
THANKS in advance

Subject: [VICUG-L] automated data collection tools
I would love to find a tool that would go out on the web and find
information on all kinds of research topics so I don't have to search on
my own. Specifically I want to find research useful for my novels,
namely facts about aspects of daily Anglo Saxon life, like crops, the
money, jurisprudence, you name it.
Now I thought that was what DataFerret was but it seems to be US Census
info.
Is anyone aware of anything like what I am talking about? For instance
I might set the tool to look for material about crops grown in souther
England in the tenth century. It would then go looking all over the web
and send me a list of sites it foound.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
