When researching potential clients I needed to Google close to 1,500 different companies. They were all listed in Excel already. Searching for them one by one would have taken ages, so I looked for a way to speed up the process without finding anything (just see http://listsear.ch/?e=searchlists http://listsear.ch/?e=searchlists). Listsear.ch is the product of that "itch". After copying in a list (see http://listsear.ch/?e=movies http://listsear.ch/?e=movies or http://listsear.ch/?e=firms http://listsear.ch/?e=firms) and clicking 'Search list' a link to Google is generated for each list item. All of these links can be opened at once, although the exact behavior varies a bit from browser to browser. Crossing lists seemed helpful, too (e.g. http://listsear.ch/crosslists/?e=movieratings http://listsear.ch/crosslists/?e=movieratings).
