    basicly the same as this from what I gather
  • khag7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I don't know if this is even useful.
  • OpCzar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I find the Copernic Agent much better in this regard. It actually saves your searches ( very practical if you're doing deep intraweb research):

  • ersnyder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Not gonna lie, that's pretty freaking cool.
  • aceallways, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Does any one else laugh every time something on the internet claims to be "instant"?
  • muka3d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Opera has had this feature built in for a long time.
    And with Opera, it's customizable.
  • Mikey_Ickey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thank you for showing me my new favorite browser :)
  • HappyScrappy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Watches what you surf, displays relevant ads on screen.

    Folks, it's the very description of spyware, like Gator.

    dugg down into the depths of hell
  • hackwrench, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The only use for the sidebar bit is to get back to searching quickly. How many people read two things at once? And getting back to searching is easy when you open search results in other tabs. You can even stay at searching without switching to the task of going over the pages that resulted, by opening new tabs on several results, and then going through those tabs one by one.
  • QurrUm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I quite agree. It looks to childish to ever be taken seriously by the mainstream user. Too much like AOL or Yahoo. Or dare I say *shudders* Yahooligans.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And every time you click a link, they make money!!!
  • yahoofrom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Only useful as a reference for a list of search engines.
  • nubnub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1a browser inside of a browser!
  • Sergio965, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't picture myself using this anywhere in the future. I do see that it does make searching for a particular term on several websites easy, but, isn't that what tabbed browsing is all about? Being able to search, while searching?

    I don't like it, it gives me a weird feeling. :( Digg for originality, though.
  • brendanc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1um, what privacy issues?

    How is privacy relevant to searching with a preview pane? Even if it did track where you went, do you think it really matters? As long as you aren't searching for child porn or something else morally objectionable (i'm thinking globally... not western bible belt objectionable)... you shouldn't need to worry.

    And besides... this is for searching and browsing your search results... not searching and doing your normal browsing.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3liar
  • clueless, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1does anybody know how the site does the pictures with highlighted words (the google book style) in them?
    is there an easy way of doing it.
  • djspanky, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2That's about as useful as a screen door on a helicopter made out of snow... Kind of useless.
  • mcmire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can search and browse at the same time. It's called using Firefox.
  • Sethwm2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah.. But it is getting closer to instant everyday with development..

    Do I feel a developers chant coming on??
  • Sky0001000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1umm.... hello!! can you say StumbleUpon .... this even sucks in comparison.. it's a god damn toolbar!! i HATE toolbars!!!
  • strabes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1developers developers developers developers COME ON WHOOO YEAHH!!!!
  • felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Good lord no, heaven forbid someone put a lot of work into creating a really cool and useful free service, and then make money off of ad clicks. Workers of the world unite! All property is theft! To each according to their need, profit is the work of the evil capitalist overlords!
  • tarmithius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@Sky0001000

    I realize Google does this but only if you are logged into your account, even on that I may even be naive, but Google has a reputation not to use their data in a nefarious way.
  • tarmithius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That was said about Google too you know. Now Google is synonymously associated with search.
  • infinium, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1except that it has all the sites in one easy location...well I guess my favorites can do the same thing.
  • tarmithius, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Although you may not think so I still would not like some company to keep statistics on what I search for based on my IP. What is next they start to target ads toward what I search for? I understand what you are stating though.
  • SPRTN, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Wow, this is stolen from 22pixels Sidekick. Can't come up with original ideas can we? posted 8 hours ago eh?

    Posted 3 monthes ago BITCH!
  • Sky0001000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I really hope your kidding.. and know that they already do this...
  • Sky0001000, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1oh yea.. and google doesnt make their money on search priorities, and market research statistics....
    (in really good Napoleon Dynamite voice) "Idiot!"
  • Sky0001000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0riiight... and yet i don't have a google account.. and it happens no matter what site i go to.. ;)
  • foshizlak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Not a bad idea, but why not just use the drop down menu from the search box of your browser ? - then you don't have to look at sidekiqs crappy icons or lame design. Actually - it's pretty cool, but they could work on the look a little.

  • pockyrevolution, on 10/12/2007, -7/+6PageBull is the really cool part. (Provides the thumbnail for websites)

  • dgarallenpoe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0What's the point in talking about new search services? Google has eclipsed all, right? What chance does anyone else have to make inroads? There's nothing they could possible improve, is there?
  • tarmithius, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I wonder about the privacy issues with this though.
  • autodata, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1"design patent pending" for this?
  • bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1leave that to the submitters, apple, google, and kevin rose
  • Rakeela, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2Advertising, pfah.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2Yea, let's not advertise.
