Search Switching
Last updated Apr. 08, 2008.
While Web searching is generally quick, some of us may wish to search more quickly. Several options for speed searching are available. In particular, to take the same search and quickly switch between databases, whether with other Web search engine or to completely different databases, you can use some of these.
Search Switching Between Web Search Engines
Geographic Search Switching (Maps/Aerial/Satellite Imagery)
Book Search Switching
- Booksearchx3 (The A9/Amazon links to not always work right, so you may need to find something in Booksearchx3 and then re-run the search directly at Amazon.)
Other options
- Search Transfer Bookmarklets
- Search boxes in IE and Firefox. Add more search engines to the default set for more options. For Firefox or Internet Explorer
- Customize Google: Firefox extension or Internet Explorer extension can add links to competing search engines to the top of Google results
