Starting a Search with CallipygianGrab 2.0

Use the Locations tab to select the starting location to start a new search. The Search From drop-down listbox controls the starting location: a URL, a file containing a list of URLs, your browser history, or a previously saved search.

URL searches

Select URL in the Search From box, type in your URL including the scheme (http://), and then press the “play” button on the bottom left.

File Searches

Create a file containing URLs, 1 to a line, including the scheme, and use this as a starting point. Use the File option in the search from option

Browser History

With a Browser History search, you can check the URLs of interest from your recent Microsoft Internet Explorer browser history, and use them as a starting place. CallipygianGrab 2.0 will show the last 100 items in your history; you can check off as many as you’d like.

Link Pages and Search Engines

CallipygianGrab 2.0 recognizes two types of special pages in your initial starting places: Link Pages and Search Engines. Normally, CallipygianGrab won’t an intial starting domain. However it makes the following exceptions:

· Link Pages

o If a page primarily contains links to other pages on other domains, it is presumed to be a “Link Page”. In this case, links to other pages within that site are ignored, but all the external links are added to the list of starting points

· Search Engines

o CallipygianGrab 2.0 recognizes search engine sites. In most cases it will be able to continue the search, as if you kept hitting “next” until there wer no more search results. However pages in the search engine’s domain other than relevant search results will be ignored

Continuing Saved Searches

When you start a search, Callipygian Grab 2.0 asks you to give it a name. If you stop a search before it is completed, you can continue from where you left off. Simply select Saved Search in the Search From dropbox, choose the name of the search you want to continue, and press “play”.
