Dowser is a tool designed for Web research and archiving, making it easier for users to access and store web content.
Dowser Project is a comprehensive web research and archiving tool that makes the process of online searches more organized and meaningful. The tool comes with an innovative approach that clusters results from different search engines and associates words that appear in previous searches. This feature helps users to keep track of their search results without any advertising.
With Dowser, you can have a local cache of all the results you click on which are stored in a searchable database along with summaries and links to related information. This software helps you to keep track of your search results, making re-visiting them a breeze.
To use Dowser, you must meet certain requirements, which include a Python 2.3 or higher, sqlite 2.6 or higher, and pysqlite. If you are running Dowser from the source, you need to build and install Python and sqlite and the pysqlite bridge. The source zip comes with a precompiled Mac library for sqlite and pysqlite.
The latest version of Dowser comes with newly added features that include editable search filters like "no shopping" and "no blogs". Dowser is now a true metasearcher, and the newest version adds Teoma to the search engine list. There is also a working German translation, thanks to Guido & Felix. Since T & G are about the only major engines that don't get their databases from somewhere else, there are no other search engines to add. However, anyone with suggestions for their favorite search engines, perhaps language- or subject-specific, can email the developer.
Dowser also has an option to allow remote clients, enhancing the functionality of the tool. In conclusion, Dowser is a reliable web research and archiving tool suitable for anyone in need of a well-organized web research tool.
