By far the easiest and fastest way to get smart/focused search results. Better than searching through pages of Google results (even if you know Goo search operators).

DEVONagent Express is a fine product, but the App Store is very problematic. I went there to update to 3.1.1 in my account and it tells me that all my apps are up to date. I go to DEVONtechnologies, LLC URL and no is no choice to update on their site and, of course, we can no longer update certain applications on MacUpdate. DEVONagent Express itself contains no updater. So what is one to do????

I have found the App Store to be so unlike anything the Steve Jobs envisioned or even a representative as an Apple product. This is not the first time that the App Store has been a problem for me, plus the last time I e-mailed them for support online, with the online acknowledgement that my e-mail was received, I never received a reply from the the App Store.

The version now described here is 3.1.1 but the version offered at the Mac App Store as well as the version included with DEVONthink are still at 3.1.

I do wonder why so many people do not understand the difference between commercial software and shareware. And how many of this individuals complaining about the Mac App Store have purchased copies of Mac OS X over the years without a "Test Drive" first, seems a bit hypocritical.

The App Store is no different than any other means of distributing commercial software, and IMO the only people that will complain about it are probably not going to pay for shareware anyway.

The difference is that the software is lighter and updating is simple.

This looks to be a worthwhile app, but as always, we'd love it if developers who use the App Store would take a cue from other programmers, like Russell over at SweetP Productions (Cookie), and provide a demo which can be downloaded at the developers site, for trial, prior to purchase.

Mac developers have been doing this with their wares for some fifteen plus years, with great success I might add.

I know you guys are feeling the pinch in sales, because I have many developers confide this to me.

Take the hint: provide a test drive, before asking us to buy the car.

It's not the $1 here or the $4.99 there:

It's all of them added up over time that keeps many of us from availing ourselves of your programs, especially when we can't try them out first.

P.S. I am a huge fan of this company...still...

A demo download IS freely available at Devon's website but I guess that it can only be purchased through that dreadful MacCrapStore.

Sorry, I meant this as an answer for DevonAgent Pro.
DA Express is not available for download or purchase at Devon's website but DA Pro can be, there.
As can Devon Note as well as all versions of DEVONthink.

Your search assistant: While the 'express' mode just collects the results the 'agent' mode does a lot more for you in the background. It downloads each page, filters advertisements, error pages as well as pages that don't fit your question, and applies its own ranking. No more Error 404 pages, no more pages that have nothing to do with your search at all.

What DEVONagent Express does for you:
  • Let's you search the web as easy as using Spotlight
  • Shows convenient summaries and preview pictures
  • Filters advertisements and error pages
  • Gives you only really relevant results back
  • Talks to more than 80 general-purpose and specialized search engines
Perfectly integrated and easy to use:
  • Located directly in the menu bar, always there when you need it
  • Opens results in your web browser or DEVONagent (if available)
  • You already know how to use it
  • Accessible by pressing a hotkey
Supported search engines categories:
  • General purpose
  • Apple- and Mac-related (e.g. App Store, MacUpdate)
  • Blogs
  • Computer science
  • Dictionaries (e.g. Wiktionary)
  • Directories
  • Educational resources
  • Government
  • Images and videos (e.g. YouTube, Flickr)
