Where’s my Google gone, A9?



Categories : Internet |

For several months now, I’ve been using as my main “search engine” A9.com (I posted my initial thoughts on it here .) It’s Amazon’s own search page and I’ve made heavy use of the half Pi (1.59%) Amazon discount, and have valued it’s ability to search multiple sources in different columns simultanously. For example I usually have 3 columns configured to search Google web, Google images, and Wikipedia all at once.

But now Google seems to have disappeared from my A9 and replaced by Microsofts ‘Live‘ search. Frankly the results aren’t as good an I want my Google back! But I can’t seem to find any way of getting it back into my columns. I may have to revert from A9 back to Google plain as my main search page if I can’t fix it. If that’s the case I’ll just try and do enough token A9 searches to keep my Amazon discount current … although I really need to wean myself off Amazon as well – spend way too much time (and money) there…

    The contract between Amazon and Google has ended on Monday, May 1st, and it doesn’t seem to have been renewed.

    On another topic, I suggest you have a look at http://www.netvibes.com
    It has got some very interesting features. It is something similar to the personalised homepages by live.com and google.com/ig but it has very nice functionalities.
