A web search application lays out the structure of
a web site hierarchically in a drawing view. The search is set to start at a home page and
branch outward to expose newly discovered web pages. Custom actions define settings, such
as when to start, stop, and pause the search, as well as how often to search for new pages
and update the drawing view. Users can crawl any website and discover hidden relationships
or increase awareness of the website structure, or find broken links on a web page.
