Publisher's description of ChunkIt Firefox 1.1.1.0021
From TigerLogic:Give your favorite search engine super strength by transforming your favorite search engine into an information powerhouse. ChunkIt! searches within the pages of your engine's results to find your search terms in context. ChunkIt! also searches Web pages and discovers information that conventional search tools may have never revealed. In addition to mining content on a Web page, ChunkIt! will mine all of the links on that page for information relevant to your search. By clicking on a chunk in the left panel, ChunkIt! will highlight that information in the context of its original Web page. There's no need to bounce between multiple windows. ChunkIt! also makes it fast and easy to find information in reference manuals, PDFs, legal docs, and news sites.
Version 1.1.1.0021 improved performance.
Editor's review of ChunkIt Firefox 1.1.1.0021
4.0 stars
- "Search in chunks"
When Google, Yahoo, or any other major search engine overwhelms you with so many matches it reads more results than dollars in the national debt, ChunkIt might be the plug-in for you. Available for Firefox and Internet Explorer, it "chunks" up your search returns, providing snippets of relevant text.
The add-on splits your browser tab into two vertical sections, the left side with the ChunkIt results and the right with unchunked returns. Clicking on the text of a ChunkIt result loads the text in the right pane, highlights the relevant bit in yellow, and scrolls directly to it. A link at the top of the pane opens the page that your result lives on in a new tab.
This is a large plug-in, weighing in at more than 8MB. Using it requires use of the ChunkIt toolbar, something that may not go over well as browser design becomes more streamlined. Users who need help narrowing down broad searches will find this plug-in exceptionally useful. On the other hand, users comfortable maneuvering through "the Google" might find ChunkIt extraneous to their needs.

Version: ChunkIt Firefox 1.1.1.0021
"ChunkIt finds information I could never find on my own!"
Pros: Chunkit is great in that it lets you see inside the links before you have to click anything. It has definitely saved me a bunch of time. Also 'chunking links' is wonderful, so I can go through information on any web page, vs. just a search engine.
Cons: None yet. I really like the way it works.

"This search tool is a life saver."
Pros: One click searching through entire Web pages is amazing. I find infromation so fast now. I spend a lot less time on news sites now that I have this tool.
Cons: I learn something new everytime I use the product. I like everything about it.
Summary: This product is awesome. A little bit of a learning curve but once you figure it out you can't search without it. The chunks are so brought back so fast with keywords highlighted that the desired inforamtion pops right off the scree. You have to che... read more >>
