Abstract
A network analyzer is provided that searches all of the sites of a network, such as the Internet, contained in a site list and analyzes the analysis criteria. The site list may be specified by a user, randomly generated, or retrieved from a file. The analysis criteria may be default analysis criteria, retrieved from a file, or created by the user. After the site list and analysis criteria have been specified, a file, such as the HTML file, at each of the specified sites is downloaded and stored as a text file. The site is analyzed for number of occurrences and/or sizes of analysis criteria data. After all of the sites on the site list have been analyzed, the results are displayed. Results of an analysis may be compared to results of a previous analysis in order to track trends.
