Browser

SearchWolf presents all results in a HTML format, and you will need a WWW Browser such Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer to view them. The executable file name including the full pathname specification of the browser you wish to use must be entered in the box provided. Once entered, the [help] button can be used to verify the setting.


 
Proxy Server Address & Port

If you need to access the Internet via a proxy, the address and port of the proxy server, or gateway must be specified. If are getting constant 'Host not Found' error messages, chances are that your proxy settings are not correct.


Timeout Delay

The lenght of time SearchWolf will wait before attempting to Retry and/or abort a network operation. The default value is 8000 milliseconds. If you specify a smaller delay, SearchWolf will run faster, but the results will be less accurate. Please note that unless you have a very fast internet connection, you should not use a delay less than 1000 milliseconds as the program may not function correctly.


Number of concurrent connections

Specifies the number of concurrent connections that are to be used when accessing third party database to process your query. You may wish to specify a smaller number if you are running SearchWolf in the background while downloading files, or using your browser. The maximum value is 20 (the default).


Windows Status Checkbox.

When enabled, SearchWolf will automaticaly display a status window when a search is in progress. If disabled, this window will only be displayed if the [status] button is clicked.
