A9... Amazon's new search engine
A9.com is a new search engine which could possibly be better than Google. You can search the web (it has a backend to Google's API, therefore returning results you would get from Google), you can search inside a book (powered by Amazon.com), you can search Google Images, Movies (IMDB), Reference (definitions, encyclopedic entries and other topics by Gurunet), and much more. It has a very heavy javascript GUI, which kinda reminds me of Gmail. You can also use your Amazon account to login and get customized preferences and search results. When logged in, it will store all of your previous searches into a "search history" for you to go back and look at later. Basically, it's Google plus a whole bunch of other stuff... Worth a try
