Build

Known Issues

At the moment, only Google and Metager are useable as search engines. Googles blocks you out if you make to much request to it per day. This is at about 30 pages per day.

The download volume is quite high. It should only be used with a flatrate.

The results are quite unnice to read. Improvements in formatting are not my priority.

Possible languages are only german and english.
