Just what we needed...another search engine. Launched by Amazon.com, A9 seems like a search engine that has some interesting features, but after a couple test searches, it is nowhere as complete as Google, nor does it present the search results in a clean, clear, precise manner. But not only did Amazon enter the search market, but there's also a toolbar to go with A9. And if you read the terms of service, the second paragraph clearly states that they will track EVERY page you visit on the Internet (except for secure (https://) sites). People are raising a flap over Google's GMail instantaneously reading your e-mail and serving an ad, yet no one has proposed a bill to stop Amazon from tracking every page you visit - though just about every other spyware you get infected with will do the same thing. Do yourself a favor, don't install the Amazon search bar - if you need to install one - go with google - at least that way you can turn off any potential privacy invasions.
