O<strong>the</strong>r features and facts about A9 you should know:<br />

http://www.zoominfo.com/<br />

~ "A9 Lite (lite.a9.com) is a version of A9.com that has been designed to work<br />

on older <strong>web</strong> browsers as well as many mobile devices. A9 Lite does not<br />

require JavaScript, so if JavaScript on your browser is turned off, or if you<br />

have an older browser, you will automatically be sent to A9 Lite. A9 Lite<br />

provides limited functionality, and does not have search groups, continuous<br />

scrolling, or <strong>the</strong> ability to add additional search sources.r'"<br />

~ advanced Live search options are available, and Live's special <strong>web</strong> syntax<br />

appears to work.<br />

~ continuous scroll eliminates need to click to see more results.<br />

~ cached option is available.<br />

~ no "similar pages" or "more results from..." options.<br />

Clearly, Amazon is ambivalent about A9 and its future, but given Amazon's<br />

extraordinary accomplishments and <strong>the</strong> company's innovative approach to providing<br />

information (and selling stuff), I hope A9 will not merely survive but thrive.<br />

Book Search<br />

Google, Amazon/A9, Microsoft's Live Book Search, and Project Gutenberg<br />

provide an invaluable service for researchers that is not<br />

duplicated by any o<strong>the</strong>r type of search. This new approach to search is nothing short<br />

of a revolution in <strong>the</strong> way we are able to discover, access, and use information. Book<br />

search results are frequently better in terms of authoritativeness, utility, and<br />

thoroughness. However, I have found that <strong>the</strong> overlap among <strong>the</strong> three book search<br />

services appears to be even less than <strong>the</strong> overlap among <strong>web</strong> searches.<br />
