Soovle - Let the web help.

Soovle. Interesting approach this. You have a search box surrounded by logos frm Google, Wikipedia, Answers, YouTube, Ask, Yahoo and Amazon. Start typing and you begin to pull up a bunch of suggestions from each engine which you can click on to search. Change the default search engine by using the keyboard right arrow key. Works very well, quite fun and a genuinely different approach! Thanks to Charles for bringing this one to my attention.

Hi Phil and others,
Soovle.com was just updated to work better for librarians.

What was added is the ability for folks to save the search phrases they discover while doing their research with a simple drag and drop operation. When you see a search suggestion you like, drag the suggestion to the book on the upper left and the page will store it using client-side-storage.

Client side storage is nifty because Soovle.com will never see the phrases you store and no personally identifiable information is needed to enable it. Just load the page and start using it. The storage stays in that spot until a user of that browser deletes it.

Additionally you can save the terms to a text file, email, and print them.

If this or some other thing is handy for you and your audience I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks again!

Sincerely,
Matt Amacker
