Abstract
Many of the search engines and recovery tools are not suitable to make samples of web resources for quantitative analysis.

A new generation of recovering tools involving tracing hypertext links from selected sites are very promising. Offering capabilities to automate tasks
Extracting large samples of high pertinence
Ready to use in standard database formats
Selecting additional resources by indirect recovery via hypertext links.
