How To Use Copernic Agent Personal To Personalize The Online Search With Multiple Search Engines?
Download this meta search engine using the link present at the end and install it to PC. At the time of installation, you can select which categories you want to install. It offers business & economy, encyclopedia & reference, news, web, entertainment & media, law, etc. categories, and each category contains plenty of sub-categories. Select categories to install and additional categories can be installed later, using Tools menu available on its interface.
The whole interface of this meta search engine is divided into different parts that helps to ease your work. Have a look at the main parts:
- Quick Search & Category bar: Quick search is used to search for the information and you can customize search by searching for exact words or exact phrase and by selecting search engines that you want to use. Search will be based on the category selected by you. So category bar allows you to select a category to start the search.
- Results: At the right part on its interface, top search results list will be visible to you. You can sort results by search engines, by date found, in ascending order, by title, address etc. Results can also be filtered by region, status, and domain.
Each result can be opened online using any web browser and a note can also be added to any selected result. It is disappointing that it doesn’t provide build-in browser to view web pages.
- History Pane: You will find all the searches made by you in history pane. Clicking on a particular search keyword will open all the search results in results part. You can even create a new folder to store search history and any folder can be renamed, moved, copied to another folder, whenever needed.
- Main Menu Bar: Main menu bar provides all the menus that you can use with Copernic Agent Personal. It provides file menu, edit menu, results menu, favorites menu, and more. Use these menus accordingly. For example, to export, create backup of results, and to import results, you can use File menu. And to change search layout, text size, keyword highlighting color, sort search, etc., use View menu.
- Standard Toolbar: Use Standard Toolbar to change selected search’s parameters, verify links to check out how many search links are broken or unreachable, to save pages (with images) for offline browsing, adjust number of search results per search engine, and more.
Conclusion:
Copernic Agent Personal is one of the best meta search engine featured with plenty of useful options. It’s really handy for all those users, who want a better search experience. One thing that I missed with this search engine is build-in browser to view searched results and saved pages.
