Overview

SearchifyX

SearchifyX, predecessor to Searchify, is a fast Quizlet, Quizizz, and Brainly webscraper with various stealth features.

SearchifyX lets you easily query a quiz question through different answer websites (similar to Socratic on mobile), and sort them based on how similar they are to your query. It also includes a screen OCR scanner, hotkeys, and other features for stealthy use.

SearchifyX in action

in action

Download

Binaries

Download Windows binaries here

Running from source code

Install the Python 3.8 dependencies:

python -m pip install requirements.txt

You also need to download tesseract-ocr and extract it to the root directory to use the OCR tool.

CLI usage

An alternative for Linux/Mac OS users is to use scraper.py as a CLI tool.

Usage:

scraper.py [-h] [--query QUERY] [--output OUTPUT] [--sites SITES]

Required arguments:

--query QUERY, -q QUERY
                      query to search for

Optional arguments:

-h, --help            show this help message and exit

--output OUTPUT, -o OUTPUT
                      output file (optional)
--sites SITES, -s SITES
                      question sources quizlet,quizizz,brainly (comma seperated list)

What it does

  • Searches Bing for Quizlet, Quizizz, and Brainly results

  • Sort results by how similar the identified question is to the input question

Stealth options

  • Prevent window switching

  • Customizable global hotkeys

    • Hide/show window hotkey

    • OCR & search hotkey

    • Paste & search hotkey

    • Quickly change window opacity hotkey

  • Change window opacity (slider in title bar)

  • Option to not show in taskbar

Window switching safety lock

Many websites can detect when the window focus is lost. SearchifyX includes a window switching safety lock to prevent websites from knowing you are using a different window.

Note: The text search bar does not work when the Window switch safety lock is enabled. It is designed to be used with the OCR tool and Paste & Search tool.

Here is a demo website that turns black when the window is out of focus:

Improvements from Searchify

  • Completely rewritten from scratch

  • Added stealth features (listed above)

  • Added screen OCR scanner

  • Added global hotkeys

  • MAJOR changes to UI

  • MAJOR changes web scraper code (averages 1-2 seconds now; uses significantly less CPU)

  • Completely fixed the "Too many requests" error

  • Significantly more stable & returns better results

  • No Longer Works Correctly

    No Longer Works Correctly

    I opened the program a few days ago, but it suddenly didn't work. I reopened it a few days later (today) and the issue still persists.

    https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/51093971/162644305-3d7c1229-f7db-43b9-bc84-03e1bfe509c2.mp4

    Problems:

    1. The OCR is completely messed up; if I scan text, it's gibberish, if I scan nothing, it's gibberish. I use Tesseract OCR in another program and it works fine.

    2. The search is completely messed up. All results appear usually in under one second and are wrong. Sometimes it shows answers with really low confidence, other times it shows nothing. I have all the search engines (quizlet, quizizz, brainly) selected and even tried using different combinations just in case it worked.

    Testing on another computer: I had a friend test out the program on their PC and the OCR worked correctly. But, their answer results displayed either low confidence results or nothing, just like in my case.

    Testing on virtual machine: It is a fresh windows 10 virtual machine. I ran the program and the OCR worked correctly initially, but after a few scans, it stopped working correctly. It is unclear what caused this. The results also showed low confidence answers or nothing.

    I tried restarting my PC. I tried fresh copies of both portable and installer versions.

    BASICALLY: OCR might have some issues Answers no longer work
