1) Options
| Search Only This Page:
Most basic search. Only searches the current page. Does not follow any links. Example:
|
| Search Only The Links:
Does not look for files in the current page. Only follows the links to external sites. Example:
|
| Search This Page Then The Links:
Does not look for files in the current page. Only follows the links to external sites. Example:
|
Example:
A search on page http://www.xxx.com/index.html with this option:
1) Will cause all of the web pages on server www.xxx.com to
be searched. File Mag-Net will go from one page to another and as long
as it finds a link leading to a page on www.xxx.com that has not
already been searched, it will follow it, disregarding any limits.(See
#5 below)
Example:
A search on page http://www.xxx.com/directory1/index.html with
this option:
1) Will cause all of the web pages on server www.xxx.com
in and under directory1 to be searched.
In the following, dir2 is under directory1. http://www.xxx.com/directory1/dir2/index.html
This option is userful for isolating large web site areas. A search
with this option on www.cnn.com on the page
http://www.cnn.com/weather/index.html will result in only the weather
topics to be searched, not the headlines, sports, etc.
4) List Imbedded Images
When checked on, this option tells File Mag-Net to list all the images
on a web page that are displayed to the user (as oppose to images that
are in a web page as a text link with a description). In order for this
option to work, the image extension (usually jpg or gif) must be listed
in the Extensions Tab in Preferences.
5) Keyword Search Only
When checked on, this option tells File Mag-Net not to list any files
during its search. Only list the web pages containing Keywords entered.
If this option is checked on, and there are no Keywords entered, File Mag-Net
will basically just search and not list anything.
6) # of Child Layers to Search
This option deals with how many layers to the user wants File Mag-Net
to search, and can be best explained through an example.
Example:
A search on page A1 with # of Child Layers to Search set a 2
:
With the way the World Wide Web works:
A1 has links to B1 and B2;
B1 has links to C1
and C2;
Child Layer #1
B2 has links to C3
and C4 ;
C1 has links to D1 and D2 ;
Child Layer #2
C2 has links to D3 and D4 ;
C3 has links to D5 and D6 ;
C4 has links to D7 and D8 ;
Setting this Option to 2 will tell File Mag-Net to stop at C1,
C2, C3, C4 and not search the D's.
In most web pages, since there are many more links, setting this option
to a high number will result in a very lengthy search.
7) Auto Focus on Location Bar
When this preference is checked, the focus automatically returns to
the location bar when switching between File Mag-Net and another application.
This tab lets the user specify the types of files to look for and also the types not to look for. File Mag-Net will only list the files whose extensions (untitled.txt where txt is the extension) are listed on this tab with a check next to them.
File Mag-Net comes with a default set of common extensions which can be modified easily by the user.
You can turn off searches for specific file types by unchecking them.
This tab lets the user specify the certain sites that File Mag-Net should not follow links into. These usually are very large sites which do not contain data on any specific topic. Also these are commercial sites or search engines which most web sites provide links to. By avoiding sites like these, search times are improved immensley.
File Mag-Net comes with a default set of Sites To Avoid which can be
modified easily by the user.
1) Proxy Server
If the user is connecting to the Internet via a Proxy Server he can
put this information here. If the check box "Access the Internet Using
a Proxy Server" is checked but an address is not entered, a Proxy Server
connection will be attempted using shared data from the registry.
2) Current Save File Folder
This option sets the folder in which all downloaded files are saved.
This is defaulted to the installation location of File Mag-Net. The
folder can be changed by clicking on the 3 dot button to the right, and
selecting a folder from the list.
----New Folder Under Current
This feature can be used to create a new folder under the listed directory
above. Type the name of the new folder in the field provided and click
the Create button. If the folder was created successfully, the directory
path in the field above will be updated with the new folder name and the
New Folder Field will be cleared.
3) HTML Columns
This option is used with the Save functionality. File Mag-Net lets
you save the list of files as an html page. Select the File - Save option
from the menu and choose "HTML files" as the File Type. This option will
organize large file lists in columns to use the maximum area on a web page.
