Alternative to Surfsaver ?


My dad uses Surfsaver (in Windows) to archive web pages so that he can browse and search the pages while offline.

What is the best way to achieve this in linux ?

p.s. It is very important the the web pages be well organised (in folders) and be fully searchable while offline.

I like httrack. It can be a bit complicated to set up rules sometimes, but it's very full-featured. There are several standalone gui frontends and a web interface for it. There's even a Windows version.

The standard wget downloading utility can also do recursive downloads, but I've heard it doesn't handle some situations well.

Not sure how you can achieve "searchable". You can always run grep through the files to search for text strings though, at least.
