Operating system: Windows 95/98/Me/NT
Licence: Free full version
Minimum system requirements: n/a
Web: http://www.trellian.com/

Find images and videos on the Internet fast with this advanced image searching tool. The full version, as sold for $US29.95 is yours free thanks to Trellian. Simply register online at http://www.trellian.com/ngiw.htm to recieve your serial number.

Using ImageWolf
Enter a search query such as "cars" "royal+family" or "bikinis" into ImageWolf and it will then crawl the Internet looking for images or videos to match, depending on what you specify. You can set Image Wolf to search the whole Internet, just to spider through your favourite search engine's databases or limit the search to just a single Web site. ImageWolf 2.0 makes it easy to find these files and more: gif, jpg, png, bmp, rm (Real Media), avi (Windows), mpg (Mpeg), asf (Microsoft Video).

ImageWolf 2.0 has a simple interface that displays all links within the program for easy downloading. It allows you to keep a database of the sites where you have previously found images, thus increasing the speed of future searches. You can also set up an ignore list, allowing you to bypass sites that you don't like.

Getting Help
Selecting Help from the help menu brings up a nifty help window. When you click on different parts of the program interface a description of what they are comes up in the help windows. To use most of the options in the help menu you need to tell ImageWolf where to locate the executable file for your Web browser. To do this go to the Options menu then select Preferences. Under Settings you specify the location of your browser executable. You need to specify the full address path of the file on your computer, for example C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe. Now you can look at the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions), support pages and more on the Trellian Web site.

Registration
To make this a full version you need to register ImageWolf 2.0 by visiting the special registration page at http://www.trellian.com/ngiw.htm. Once you have your serial number enter it when you install the program by clicking the 'Register' button, or install first and then go to the 'Help' menu and select 'Register' to enter your serial number before the trial period expires.
