The best, free, web site downloader I found for Windows is from this web site:


HTTrack Website Copier - Offline Browser -
http://httrack.com/

This web site has inexpensive, commercial web search tools:

Kryloff Technologies develops software to find, search, summarize and manage information -

Hope this helps,

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.
