a9.com = Amazon + Search

In a break from the political satire...

There is a cool new serch engine competing with Google now. It is a9.com.

Run by Amazon it has a couple cool features:

1) Search history, that you can access anywhere from any computer.
2) A toolbar with a "Diary" feature. Allowing you to take notes on specific web pages you visit.
3) It will search within books that Amazon sells.

The "uncool" feature is that you'll have to register to access the features. Which also means that Amazon can track what you're searching for, what pages you visit, etc.
