DESCRIPTION
DEVONagent is the solution for you if you are tired of clicking hundreds of links delivered by Google & Co. just to find out that most of the links are either outdated, broken or lead to junk pages. It communicates with search engines, digs for you through all the results and gives you only those documents that are really worth reading. Even better, it summarizes the accumulated knowledge and presents you with a list of the most important topics and an interactive mind map. Finding information on the Web has never been easier

Your Research Assistant: DEVONagent finds, collects and organizes information with a powerful search architecture, a simple to use built-in archive and perfect integration with DEVONthink. More than 130 plugins for popular search engines, databases and search tools, predefined search sets, and a clean Mac-like user interface make DEVONagent the number one tool for finding information on the web for the Mac.

DEVONthink companion: Collect search results as plain or rich text, web archive or as PDF directly in your DEVONthink database with just one click and from any view. Then use DEVONthink's intelligence to organize it.

LUX  An update to my earlier review nearly 2 years ago. DEVONagent Research assistant and the way it works seamlessly with the browser is fantastic - 'nuff said but DEVONagent browser hasn't been my default browser for some time since I discovered iCab, Flock and the much improved Safari in Leopard. It's also nearly 2 years since the developers said a 'new non-metal-non-Safari look was planned for a future release of the browser - or at least the option to change the old and tired brushed-metal look to an aqua / unified look along with being able to customise the toolbar. As it is, DEVONagent browser looks more like Safari than Safari does. I also don't like [since v2.3], the appearance of a national flag in the toolbar to represent the language of the web-page - I think I'm capable of recognising the English language without the prompt of the flag of St George, that symbol of English racial purity so beloved of little englanders and the right wing political fascist party the BNP..  (Version 2.3.1)

RAVI@TANGOAZ.COM  The interface is great, instantly accessible and fast. The features are just right, especially the Log tab - for recalling past searches. I've only had it a short time but it looks like it will become my preferred internet search utility.  (Version 2.2)

CA  Oh my man do I love it! Devonagent makes the web an enormous database and the precision of the searches is second to none. Amazing and indispensable.

My second browser alongside Safari because DA is also fast and stable.  (Version 2.0.3)

LUX  Registered and after playing with DEVONagent for a day I can only concur with the previous reviews. DEVONagent is fast and the searches are so precise - it really is the perfect internet research tool - as of now it is also my default browser.   (Version 2.0.3)
