• Streaming export of search result to a new Warc-file. Can be used to extract a corpus from a collection.
• Screenshot previews of a url over different harvest times.
• See harvest times for all resources on a webpage.
• Upload a resource (image etc.) to see if it exists in the corpus.
• Build in socks proxy to prevent leaking when viewing webpages.
• Out of the box solution for researchers to explore Arc/Warc files.
• Easy to install and use on Mac,Linux and Windows. Contains Webserver, Solr and warc-indexing tool. Just drop Arc/Warcs into a folder and start exploring the corpus.
