Dowser Description

Dowser project consists of a Web research and archiving tool. Dowser project consists of a Web research and archiving tool.Dowser is a Web research and archiving tool that clusters results from search engines, associates words that appear in previous searches, and keeps a local cache of all the results you click on in a searchable database along with summaries and links to related information. It helps you to keep track of what you find, with no advertising.Requirements:· Python 2.3 or higher· sqlite 2.6 or higher· pysqliteRunning From SourceMake sure you have built and installed Python and sqlite and the pysqlite bridge. (The source zip comes with a precompiled Mac library for sqlite/pysqlite). cd into the main directory and run :# python startdowser.py.What's New in This Release:· There are now editable search filters, such as "no shopping" and "no blogs".· Dowser is now a true metasearcher. This version adds Teoma to the search engine list; there is also a working German translation (many thanks to Guido & Felix). Since T & G are about the only major engines that don't get their databases from somewhere else, I don't have any to add. If anyone has suggestions for their favorite search engines (perhaps language- or subject-specific), please email me.· Added options to allow remote clients.
