Prerequisites
Before starting this guide, please ensure that you have the following information:
- Log-in credentials to MirrorWeb Insight
- Access to the Web Module and archived web instances
Running an Organisation Level URL search
- From the Insight dashboard, navigate to the Web Module and click on the 🔍 Search sub-module in the sidebar.
- In the URL box, input the website URL you want to search. This search will be run across all profiles within your organisation. You do not need to include the
http(s)://protocol, and results will not be affected if you include this prefix.
- The results page shows every web profile that has contained the target URL, as well as the number of instances where the URL was captured. Select a web profile to view the specific captures of the webpage within that profile.
- Select a date from the Timeline page to navigate to the captured webpage on that date.
- Browse through the archive on that date.
- The calendar icon on the right-hand side of the replay banner returns you to the timeline page for the profile the current instance belongs to.
- To export a snapshot document of the archived page, click on Additional actions at the top right and select Export page. You can download it in either PFD or PNG formats.
- To download the source of the page rendered in replay, click on Additional actions at the top right and select Download page source. First, make sure the page has fully loaded; otherwise, you may get an incomplete export.
Running a Profile-level URL search
- From the Insight dashboard, navigate to the Web Module and click on the Sites sub-module in the sidebar. Select a profile from the list.
- Click the 🔍 Search button in the top right to open a URL search view.
- Enter a search term in the modal that appears. You can search exact or base partial URLs i.e www.murrirweb.com from this modal. Click a result to open the Timeline view for that page.
- Select a date from the Timeline page to navigate to the captured webpage on that date.
- Selecting any of the highlighted date entries here will take you through to the specific instance selected
