|  |  | List of Plugins

Technically, plugins are collections of URLs and procedures that DEVONagent Express uses to access search engines on the Web. They are either written in Cocoa or in human-readable XML (plain text with special syntax). In addition to simple HTML queries, DEVONagent Express also supports and analyzes Atom, RSS, and JSON feeds.
Note: Some sites need a valid log-in. If you want to query these sites with a plugin, you need to enable cookies and manually log in with your web browser in advance. When you use DEVONagent Express, the websites then will recognize you as a returning user. You will find a note in the plugin description if a site requires a log-in.
