What It Reads
What ZenSearch indexes from Web Crawler.
Any Website
Crawl documentation sites, marketing pages, help centers, internal wikis, or any website accessible over HTTP. Static and JavaScript-rendered pages are supported.
Depth Control
Set the maximum crawl depth to control how many links deep the crawler follows. Index just the top-level pages or crawl the entire site hierarchy.
robots.txt Compliance
The crawler respects robots.txt rules and meta robots directives. Excluded pages are never fetched or indexed.
Intelligent Rate Limiting
Configurable request rate and concurrency limits prevent the crawler from overloading target servers. Respects Crawl-delay and Retry-After headers.
Change Detection
Content hashing detects pages that have changed since the last crawl. Unchanged pages are skipped, making re-crawls fast and efficient.
URL Pattern Filtering
Include or exclude pages based on URL patterns. Focus the crawl on specific sections of a site while ignoring irrelevant areas.
Setup
Up and running in three steps.
01
Connect
Enter the website URL and configure crawl depth, rate limits, and URL filters. ZenSearch begins crawling immediately.
02
Index
Pages are downloaded, cleaned, parsed into structured units, and vectorized. The crawler detects navigation, footers, and boilerplate to extract only meaningful content.
03
Delegate
Your team searches across all crawled pages with AI-powered semantic search. Re-crawls run on a schedule to keep content fresh.
In Practice
Questions your team can finally ask.
Once Web Crawler is connected, your team asks in natural language and gets cited answers — and governed action — instantly.
"How do I configure SAML SSO in the vendor's admin panel?"
Searches the vendor's crawled documentation site and returns the specific configuration steps for SAML SSO setup.
"What are the API rate limits for the payments provider?"
Finds the rate limit section in the payments API documentation and returns the per-endpoint limits and retry guidance.
"What accessibility standards does our public site meet?"
Searches crawled pages from your company website for accessibility statements, WCAG references, and compliance certifications.
