MetaProducts Inquiry Basic Edition

This is the free and basic edition of MetaProducts Inquiry, a comprehensive software application that gives you the possibility to save webpages for offline viewing and keep them neatly organized. It can be integrated with Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.

After a brief setup procedure where you can select the web browser to use the program for, you are welcomed by a large window with a professional-looking structure. You can navigate to any websites, use a simple search function, extract frames, as well as save pages into various folders.

It's possible to export pages as MHT archives or HTML files, save them as single or multiple files, send files via email as attachments, copy URLs to the Clipboard, view the page's source code, extract thumbnails, as well as view and edit page properties when it comes to the title, comment, keywords and icon.

Files can be copied or moved to other directories in just a few steps. You can sort folders by name, date or URL, select the type of page elements to view when navigating web pages (images, videos, sounds, scripts, Java applets, ActiveX controls), zoom in and out, update pages with the latest content, as well as extract images, Flash files and videos.

We haven't come across any stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the software application didn't hang, crash or prompt error dialogs. It had minimal impact on computer performance and swiftly saved pages offine.

On the other hand, the free edition of MetaProducts Inquiry doesn't contain rich options and customization preferences. Nevertheless, you can test it for yourself, since it's free.
