Starting the Search

When a Search is selected on the Searches List and Extreme Picture Finder is not downloading anything, you can start the selected Search. To start a Search means to start downloading web picture search results from the search engines. You can start the Search using one of the following start types:

Start / Resume

If the selected Search was never started before, Extreme Picture Finder will begin searching for pictures from the first selected Search Engine.

If the selected Search was stopped earlier, Extreme Picture Finder will read-in the Search's Download Log and resume downloading files from the place where the Search was stopped. It will not re-download files that were saved earlier.

Menu command: Download | Start / Resume

Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + R

Toolbar button: Start / Resume

Update

This start type can be used to find new pictures. Extreme Picture Finder will read-in the Search's Download Log and begin searching for new pictures starting with the first selected Search Engine. Pictures that were saved earlier will not br re-downloaded.

Menu command: Download | Update

Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + U

Toolbar button: Update

Restart

This start type can be used to start the Search from scratch. Extreme Picture Finder will clear the Download Log of the Search and begin searching for pictures from the first selected Search Engine. All pictures will be re-downloaded, even if they are already on the hard drive.

Menu command: Download | Restart

Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + E

Toolbar button: Restart
