What is the DMOZ crawler plugin for Searchawy?

The Dmoz crawler plugin for Searchawy is a tool that allows you to grab all the links with all its information form any categories on the Dmoz.org search engine. The Dmoz.org is the largest search engine database that provides most all search engines like google, AOL, etc. This plugin will grab all the links with their description as it appears on dmoz.org which is well edited by the dmoz.org editors so you do not need to review the text or even visit these sites before you apporve them in your admin center. The collected sites or links will be added to the pending links normal in your searchawy database so you can approve them the way you want. This plugin will help you build your database fast with very good and well reviewed and edited database from the dmoz.org better than spideing the web for just links.

You can also collect sites from dmoz.org using the dmoz search, you cansearch the dmoz.org normal for any keywords  you want for example if you want to collect sites with the words "webmasters" you can search the dmoz for this then just use the url for the search results and the plugin will auto detect this.
