DEVONagent Express for Mac
Web search from the menu bar.
DEVONagent Express (based on DEVONsphere) brings Web search directly to your menu bar. Just like Spotlight searches your computer, DEVONagent Express searches the Web and presents the results directly in its menu. A great selection of top-notch search engines and large tool tips with preview pictures and summaries let you find the right page before you open it in your Web browser. You can even query all three major Web search engines all at the same time or use pre-fab collections such as a thumbnail gallery search set.
Your search assistant: While the 'express' mode just collects the results the 'agent' mode does a lot more for you in the background. It downloads each page, filters advertisements, error pages as well as pages that don't fit your question, and applies its own ranking. No more Error 404 pages, no more pages that have nothing to do with your search at all.
Today's release adds a new plugin for the Ecosia search engine. It also includes updates to some plugins, search
sets, and scanners. For more focused search results with Google and Web plugins, DEVONagent Pro uses verbatim
searches, and proximity searches, e.g., using the NEAR
operator, produce better results. Also, audio
and video files no longer play automatically, speeding up browsing your results, and importing from Safari now
allows adding even larger histories. And we made several fixes and improvements for better performance and
reliability.
