Just not another Search Engine

Asa Dotzer from Firefox development staff's "sweet link of the day "

Inquisitor Instant Search

 

No thanks,
it seems interesting, but it may lead me somewhere that I don't want to. For instance, I had never heard of AJAX-style, and I entered that. The first item on the list came up with a popup, the first I saw in Firefox, since way back.
The second one was newsgroup entry, which had in the summary, something about AJAX application breaking the browser.
Of course, not being a contributor, I fell for the link right after AJAX-style, which had nothing to do with it.
In all, I think that the application is impressive, giving one a very quick search.
But, having Copernic, I don't need Inquisitor.

 

Hi Westside

Not a programmer, but it seems AJAX style and Greasemonkey / User Scripts have similar functions. They can provide additional features / change views of a website. I have used Greasemonkey for sometime, and many of the scripts are useful for a select audience. I use one for Google output (preloads my google search into numerous search engines / URL tags / click any engine to launch).
In Gmail, it adds some useful tabs which otherwise require going through numerous dialog clicks. Security is always a issue with any program. All one has to do is follow Secunia Weekly Summary.

 

I'm not a tech so throw this out if you're so inclined. I typed in ipod and it came up with 42 million results. Sounds fine, except when I did the same with Google it came up with 162 million!

That seems to say something doesn't it? Did a 'google' on ajax and noted besides the soap people, a web page with an essay by Jesse James Garrett. Too deep for me. Here's the URL:

FWIW,
