MetaProducts Inquiry has been reviewed by PCPro.co.uk

Inquiry is a `clip and save` web research tool that works best when integrated with IE. Save web content from a full page to a Shockwave animation, or use the autosave function to store everything as you browse. Inquiry can convert these stored pages into Microsoft Word, the Microsoft web archive format MHT, or even a standalone executable file with built-in browsing client. Things fall apart, though, when it comes to Firefox - a right-click menu option to save whole pages is all you get. IE users should try the standard version first; at ¸16, it might be all you need, as the Professional Edition only brings citation information, customer reference styles and multiple-page printing to the party.

"Inquiry" is a utility which facilitates management of your Internet webpages information.

Its main feature is user-friendly, instant storage of the current webpage in a readily accessible format. It provides many aids to assist in searching and displaying.

The most important use I have found for it is storage of pages with transient information such as banking, bills and receipts. Electronic storage and retreival of this sort of information is finally practical. One other major use I have found is during Internet shopping, where you want to quickly save pages of similar products for later detailed comparison. For example I was recently looking for a 17 inch LCD monitor, and I readily saved all relevant pages for instant comparison.

Saved pages are stored in a propietary compressed format, but can be exported in several ways, such as HTML, HTML Help (.chm), and .exe viewer.

Auto-saving can be turned on. This means that all subsequent pages are saved and can be browsed off-line. But with broadband I personally don`t need such a feature.

Another example of something which can be invaluable or irrelevant, depending on your interests, is generating citations in various official formats, for use in papers, books etc.

There are many aids to browsing and searching the stored pages. For example, "mouse hover" displays a thumbnail of the page, its Title and URL, and date and time downloaded. A click on a folder of pages produces a display of such information for all the pages within the folder.

Yet another vital or unimportant feature (depending on your uses) is an ability to extract and store all the graphic images contained within, or more accurately linked to, a webpage.

So ... a very good and useful program, in my opinion. The handling of transient pages is by far its best feature, I think.

"Standard" version is $30 US. I think this is just on the margin of value for money. "Professional" version is $60 US, but the additional features available seem to be very minor,
