Monkey Explorer is an easy to use web search application allowing scheduled keyword searches of specific web pages. It reports the search results via system tray desktop notifications, customizable template based email messages or by running other programs of your choice. As long as you have an internet connection, it can search while you are away from your computer and then notify you when the keyword is found.
Monkey Explorer is effective for many different tasks including searching for names and other text, checking and verifying website changes, monitoring online auctions, monitoring classifieds, finding jobs that match your criteria, monitoring newsgroups, and much more. You customize your searches using Monkey Explorer by configuring the application for your specific needs. Some examples of configuration include the ability to: search as often as every minute to once per day or anywhere in between; ignore previous instances of your keyword after the first time it is found; perform a reverse micro-search which reports when a word or phrase has not been found; set searches to be case sensitive or perform unbiased text search; and to perform multiple simultaneous keyword searches across multiple web pages. You can choose between an open template to create a search or use an intuitive easy to use wizard to guide you through creating your searches. Monkey Explorer is a versatile tool that can also perform a raw HTTP search that looks at the underlying HTML of web pages or perform searches of web pages as seen by users through Internet Explorer or other internet browsers.
Monkey Explorer is seemlessly integrated into Internet Explorer which allows you to schedule a search without switching applications. Once you have used Monkey Explorer, you will wonder how you navigated through all the information on the web with out it.
