A9.com remembers your information so you don’t have to.
You can keep your own notes about any web page and search them; it is a
new way to store and organize your bookmarks; it even recommends new
sites and favorite old sites specifically for you to visit.
With the A9 Toolbar installed your web browsing history will be saved so
you can search through your whole history (and clear items you don’t
want kept).
A9.com uses your history to recommend new sites, to alert you to new
search results, and to let you know the last time you visited a page.
Searching the Web and Beyond
A9.com provides several sources of information with a customized
multi-column interface. The list of available sources appears as buttons
on the right side of the search results page.
Clicking on any button opens a new column on the same page (clicking the
button again will close that column).
You can adjust the size of the columns by dragging the borders to the
left or right [learn more]. The arrangement of open columns and their
relative sizes is automatically kept for the next search.
Remember what you’ve seen—and when!
A9.com personalizes your search experience by remembering your searches
and giving you easy access to all your history in several ways:
Each web search result indicates whether it’s new [ New ] or has
previously been clicked on [ Clicked 2 weeks ago ].
Every search you performed on A9.com is stored in the History column and
organized by time. You can switch between your previous searches and the
sites you’ve visited. With the A9 Toolbar, the list of all sites you
have visited is accessible the same way.
If you open the history column on a search result page, it will give you
search results of your own history followed by a list of your entire
history (as well as from your bookmarks and diary…).
Organize Your Web
A9.com is about more than just search, we help you organize what you
find. We highly recommend that you install the A9 Toolbar, it will just
take two minutes. Some cool A9 Toolbar features include:
A Diary so you can take notes on any web page, and reference them
whenever you visit that page, on any computer that you use. You don’t
even have to remember to save your entry—its automatic.
Easy to use Bookmarks (Favorites), which are stored on our servers so
you can access them from any computer. You can drag and drop any search
result directly to the Bookmarks column or even to the bookmarks button
(if the column is closed).
Lists: Do a search, and use the A9 Toolbar to easily navigate through
the results—without having to return to the search page. Or create your
own list from a bookmark folder.
Plus easy searching, highlighting, and site info.
