The MantaDB Web Tool

An Overview of MantaDB

Ever been in the situation where you know you have seen a web page - but cannot find it again? MantaDB is a simple and elegant solution to this problem. When MantaDB is installed you will always be able to find Web pages you have previously seen.

MantaDB reads the pages you view and indexes them (automatically or only the ones you choose) into a database on your PC. Later, when you wish to find the page again, simply select the search button on toolbar and type in a few keywords. Detailed information of the pages you have seen that match your search keywords will be displayed in seconds.

Ever been in the situation where you are browsing a web site - but are constantly harassed by Pop-Up windows appearing with every page. With one push of a button MantaDB can intercept and cancel these Pop-Up windows before you ever see them.

Work in full screen mode? Make all new Internet Explorer sessions you start open in full screen mode using MantaDB's Full Screen Launch button. .


Features

MantaDB is very easy to use - it starts automatically when Internet Explorer is launched and appears in the Internet Explorer tool bar as a set of six small buttons.

By default, MantaDB will automatically index web pages as they are displayed in your browser. If you wish, this feature can be turned off and MantaDB will only index specific pages when told to do so. The  button enables automatic indexing when pressed. The  button will index the currently visible page. Automatic indexing can be enabled independently for each Internet Explorer browser window.

The MantaDB search page (activated by the  button) retrieves the address and title of previously indexed pages from the database. It is very quick and easy to use and also offers optional advanced features which help you to refine the search criteria. The Search page help file contains details on how to use the MantaDB search facility.

The   button brings down the configuration dialog box. This dialog box contains a number of tabs each of which provide a variety of settings and options.

The Stop Pop-Ups feature can be enabled on a session by session basis. Just activate the Stop Pop-Ups button at any time.
