Advice on Targeted Search

Sorry, but having a hard time grokking DA.

What I want to do is search a specific directory on a site that I subscribe to, find all the pages with a specific term and download them (html without images) to DTPO.

I start by making a custom search set that sets Advanced>Sites

username:password@www.site.com/directory/

(where I have my actual username, password, site and directory)

No plugins. Follow links unchecked. Filters unchecked. No scanner. English

Then selecting that search set I enter the specific term. I get nothing, yet I know there are several hundred.

Sets just scan the specified URLs (and might follow links depending on the settings). But in this case a custom plug-in is more useful: Just choose File > New Plug-In and enter the URL “www.site.com/directory” (without quotes).
