• Help - Introduction:

  
  
  Every search begins with the same thing Scheme:
• • Selection of files via the " Select files " Button or also the menu item " Add " (& auml; equivalent).
  • All selected files are in the right list 1.
  • The search in the files in the list on the right starts after clicking on the " start " Button.
  • When searching on websites, a start dialog appears beforehand in which is asked for the search depth.
  • Found email addresses are included along with some useful Data such as page of origin, country (TLD / Top Level Domain) etc. in the List 2 saved on the left side.

• Help - Drag & Drop :

• Help - URL and email filter lists :

• • There are two lists each for email addresses and URLs to find under menu: Settings ❯ Email filters and menus: Settings ❯ URL filter
  • The left list is for search terms used in email addresses and URLs may not appear. With urls are the pure addresses meant, not their content. It is also possible to use URLs, which are not allowed to be added according to the filter list, only Later in the search no links were found which did not contain the Rules conform.
  • The list on the right indicates which search terms are in email addresses or URLs must be present.
  • It doesn't matter whether the search text is in front, in the back or in the middle. For example, .de excludes all German email addresses / only finds German addresses. However, theoretically also max . De tlef@yahoo.com
  • New in version 2022 Regular expressions can be used to mark the beginning of a word or the beginning or end of a URL/email.
    • ^info only finds email addresses beginning with info.
    • .com$ only finds email addresses ending in .com.
  • Of course not all lines in an email address or Url exist that it is excluded or found there This is sufficient if one line matches it. Formally, you could do it like that Express if .de and .com in the right column of the email filter list stand. " Only find email addresses which .de or .com included. " - an " or condition " in technical jargon. It is about however, a " non-exclusive or ", since there are certainly several Search words may apply, but at least one requirement for grabbing is the rule.
  • You can achieve an AND condition by entering two search words Separate within a line with a " + " sign. To the Example again in the right list of the e-mail filter lists, this time the line max + .de. With this we only find addresses which contain max and .de at the same time, for example max mustermann @ web . de but not max mustermann@yahoo.com and also not moritzmustermann @ web . de.
