A9 The Call Of The Amazon

That's right. Amazon now has a search engine, A9. From what I have seen of it, A9 uses Google results. It does have some neat little tricks of its own however. While it does a look up based upon your search terms in the familiar fashion, it also maintains a search history for you and performs a book search at the same time. All three searches are available from a tab bar on the right side of the screen. You can view all three searches at once or focus on just one at a time. It also provides the searcher with some site info in the form of number of links to this site and it provides a web rank which I'm not certain I understand. CAUTION: Sometimes the number of links are to the host and not necessarily the full domain.
