“The Visual Search Firefox Extension allows you to search visually in all of your favorite search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN, and countless others). Simply double-click on any word (or highlight any phrase) then plus and minus buttons will be displayed. You can press either button for the term to be added (or -added) to your current search and then it returns a new set of results based on your updated search string. This extension really does save you vast amounts of time and is a great usability increase. To get this extension go to: http://www.visual-search.net/”
Worth checking out for using Firefox (rather than IE) and of course the speed and ease of searching.
Note: This blog is a dual educator and classroom blog experiment. Cheers, Al
Thanks for mentioning us in your blog Al, we really hope educators find value in our new search tool. I would like to mention that if any educator knows of a web site that they would like to see this feature work for please contact me at robert [at] visual-search [dot] net. I would be happy to add it right away if at all possible. Also, if anyone has any feedback on how we might improve this please let us know this as well.
The Internet Explorer version is now available on our site. It works for XP and previous, a Vista version is currently under construction.
