Web Link Captor takes a list of plain-text items, and builds an output document containing a list of URL-linked results based on web searches for the items. It is a way to quickly build a clickable list of items from just their names, suitable for posting on your blog or a forum, etc. Donationware donations requested but not required. Web Link Captor has a friendly GUI that lets you build flexible sets of processing steps to parse plain-text input lists and perform search and output functions. You can also save and load projects and script configurations for easy re-use.

Web Link Captor has a lot of key features that include the following; the included backend scripts are in Python (but other languages can be used), uses caching to avoid repeating web searches unnecessarily, comes with output formatters for HTML, BBCode, Markdown/Wikipedia, with searching engines for Google, and Bing/Opensearch (which can handle Amazon, Wikipedia, and many others), flexible scoring system lets you interactively or programmatically tweak your results to get the best list of links, comes with searching engines for Google, and Bing/OpenSearch (which can handle Amazon, Wikipedia, and many others), uses a set of standalone utility scripts that can be run without the windows front end GUI, and can be easily modified and expanded, etc.
