Enter or paste the list of seed phrases/questions you'd like Q&A Grabber to work through, one per line. This cannot be blank when you click the Start button (11) or Q&A Grabber will alert you that you haven't entered at least one phrase/question.
Choose which folder you'd like Q&A Grabber to save results to. This must be set before you click the Start button (11) or Q&A Grabber will alert you that you haven't selected a target folder.
Choose what format you'd like Q&A Grabber to save results. The default export format is Text, but you can also choose CSV or HTML. If you don't want to export results at text files, be sure to change this before clicking the Start button (11).
Shows the number of remaining phrases/questions Q&A Grabber needs to work through. It will hit 0 after Q&A Grabber has finished running. If you hit the Stop button mid-scrape, you can view the phrases/questions Q&A Grabber didn't get to by clicking the View button in this section. In this view section you can copy the remaining phrases/keywords if you'd like to paste them back into the Search Phrases Input (1) area to resume where you left off.
Shows how many keywords in the list have been successfully scraped. This number will increase as the bulk scrape progresses. Once the scrape is complete, you can click the View button to see a list of all successfully scraped keywords.
Shows how many keywords in the list have been partially scraped (example: if you're looking to scrape 10 questions & answers per keywords and the software only scrapes 7, it will count as a partial scrape). Once the scrape is complete, you can click the View button to see a list of all partially scraped keywords. There are a few reasons why keywords may be partially scraped: Google only returns a small set of related questions and answers for the seed keyword/phrase, or your internet may have momentarily timed out, causing Google to not return more related Q&A's. You may wish to paste these keywords back into the Search Phrases Input field (1) and run the scrape again to see if the software can extract more questions and answers for these keywords/phrases.
Shows how many keywords in the list had no related questions and answers. Once the scrape is complete, you can click the View button to see a list of all failed scraped keywords. There are a few reasons why keywords may fail: Google doesn't show any related questions for the seed keyword/phrase, or there may have been an issue connecting with Google to harvest related Q&A's. You may wish to paste these keywords back into the Search Phrases Input field (1) and run the scrape again to see if the software can extract questions and answers for these keywords/phrases.
Shows what step the software is currently on within the current scrape. Values include: Loading Google, Entering Question, Waiting for Results, Scraping Questions (X/X), Waiting (Xs), or N/A
Loading Google: The software is pulling up Google's homepage so it can begin its search.
Entering Question: The software is typing the current keyword/phrase (8) into the search bar.
Waiting for Results: The software is waiting for Google's results page to load.
Scraping Questions: The software is working through and scraping returned related questions and answers. The numbers next to this indicate the current question/answer pair, and the total number of related question/answer pairs to scrape (which can be set in the Settings window).
Shows the overall progress for the current scrape (X/X). The number on the left will increment as the software works through the list of keywords/search phrases (1), and the number on the right shows the total number of keywords/search phrases to attempt to scrape.
Starts the bulk scrape. You must have at least one keyword entered in the Search Phrases Input field (1), and a target output folder set (2). This button will change to a Stop button while the software is running. If you'd like to abort the current scrape, click Stop and the software will end its current scrape.
