Have you ever tried Quarterdeck`s Webcompas? IMHO it isn`t a personal
robot, but you can do all the things you explained and it works with a
standard Web-Bowser. In fact Webcompas uses other Search Engines
to retrieve informations and builds a local database. I will check out the
program during the next weeks. So, if you have further questions, just
send a mail to my private address.
