The last version of BullsEye (v 3.0) has these features:

  • Ability to search Web content in several languages, including French, Spanish and Russian.
  • SurfSaver integration allows permanent copy of web pages, saving web pages with formatting and the capability to search a website with the incorporated spidering BullsEye Tracker (Pro feature only) can track information at the site, page or item level or track what's new within a specified date range and then send e-mail or pager alerts when information changes.
  • Organises search results by concepts and fine-grained filtering techniques.

[edit] Current functionality

Current functionality (as of January 2008)

  • Web page tracking - Still has a high level of functionality for most page types.
  • Search engine based searches - Nil to limited for search engine based searches as there have been changes in the way that online search engines such as Google, yahoo etc receive search requests since bullseye was last updated, therefore the program is incompatible with most search engines.
