A9 Search Engine

Super Mod · 02-11-06, 07:14 PM

ed brought this up during our second podcast, but I thought I would mention to everyone who hasn't listened to it that A9 (Amazon's search engine) uses Google's search results, has no ads, and gives you a discount of about 2% if you use it and then buy from Amazon. I think those are all really great points for why you might want to use it. What are your thoughts?

Why can't they cater to the UK market aswell, **** I hate living here!

I was shocked to hear of amazon actually owning a search engine to be honest, it's not something that would jump right out and be obvious to you.

I known of A9 for a long time. But that is not their only search engine. They also own Alexa, therefore, the Alexa's search engine. Most search engines on the net use Google so...it's not like it makes much of a difference.

Alexa is a joke, though.

But that's for another thread.

Hehe totally agree, very unreliable.

I have used A9 before, not for a while though. I didn't know they offered a discount, sounds like its worth another look.
