Here are a few of ways adding the site-specific search on the right is helpful:
1) If you frequently find yourself referring to sites like Amazon or Wikipedia, or indeed Hacker News now, to find information on particular topics. WebMynd saves you a step. You don't need to navigate there or craft your query in a particular way.
2) If you don't realize that a particular site or source could have useful information on a particular topic. With this toolbar you don't have to remember or think to check, you will be presented results from your favourite sources for each query you do.
3) It increases the amount of information on the page and so increases the chance you'll find exactly what you want.
Bear in mind that while the Hacker News search is currently powered by Google's site specific search, most of the other sources WebMynd provides use the sources' own search engines. Which means they may include results which Google does not readily surface.
I hope you do get a chance to try it out!
- mlLK 18y agoI get it; it acts like a client-side filter/index, my fault for jumping to conclusions.
- ananthrk 18y agoI haven't tried WebMynd yet (will do so). But, from the FAQ, "Some people call the WebMynd browsing history a DVR for the web - it saves and records the pages you see online so you can find what you have seen before faster:" This sounds very similar to what InfoAxe is trying to do. Has anyone here tried InfoAxe? How different are these services?
