6/9/2023 0 Comments Devonagent pro reviewTogether with its management and presentation features, this is what makes DEVONagent such a powerful application.īecause it is so powerful, I can imagine DEVONagent Pro doesn’t appeal to the masses. The application “translates” these complex search commands internally so that the search engines that you selected to search understand what you’re trying to find, while making sure they can find exactly what you were after in the first place. Querying DEVONagent ProĪlthough DEVONagent uses web-based search engines, and search engines usually don’t support complex Boolean queries, DEVONagent allows you to use very complex search commands, including Boolean operators. This one offers the ability to see how search keywords that were found are related to your exact query (better known ad DEVONagent’s Topics Map). ![]() Additionally, you can open a sidebar that shows you “See Also” links that update with each new page/site you navigate to.Īt first sight it looks like DEVONagent Pro doesn’t support exporting the list if links by itself, but it turned out all it takes is selecting all the links and dragging them to the Desktop or another app such as BBEdit.ĭEVONagent Pro 3.x still has the other views on your search results as well, of which the most interesting is the Digest view. The DEVONagent Pro browser has the ability to show you a page’s source, its images, links and RSS feeds and email addresses with the click of a button. Browser window with content types in sidebar, and See Also links at right. ![]() You can also download pages, images, linked pages, and other content types from this window. Here, the integration is more complete, with options to turn the page into a PDF as well. From within the browser you can now add pages to the DEVONagent Archive (for later reading, for example), to a search set for later (further) searching, and to DEVONthink Pro (Office) for saving as an information resource (either as a bookmark or a web archive, depending on how you set up DEVONthink).Īdding pages to DEVOnthink from within the browser happens via a Clip, but you can also add pages to DEVONthink directly, from within the search results window. The sidebar will have all other found documents neatly listed for you. Browsing search resultsĭEVONagent Pro has its own built-in WebKit based browser, so as soon as you double-click one of the found documents, it will open its browser and present you with the page. I tried to set up a search set that would only search through a couple of specialized websites (not search engines), and it worked like a charm, both setting it up and performing the search. The product comes with about a dozen defined search sets. When you pre-define the query, you can schedule DEVONagent Pro to run the search when you’re not at your computer.
