A9: Amazon's new search engine 04/14/2004 03:48 PM

John Battelle breaks the news on Amazon.com's new search engine.

A9, Amazon's much discussed skunk works search project goes live today, so I can finally write about it. I saw it last month (caveat: unbeknownst to me until recently, Amazon targeted me as their conduit to break this news - I think they wanted it to move from the blogosphere out, as opposed the WSJ in) and had to keep the damn thing to myself, it was hard, and here's why: On first blush it's a very, very good service, and an intriguing move by Amazon. It raises a clear question: How will Google - and more broadly, the entire search-driven world - react?

Amazon's A9 Search Project Launches


Amazon's A9 Search Project Launches 04/14/2004 03:58 PM
Well, the story of the day, it appears is going to be that Amazon's stealthy search startup A9 has launched. Despite the original stories about A9 from last year talking about how Amazon was taking on Google with A9, A9 actually appears to just be a different interface for Google, with some tie-ins to Amazon. They're using Google's search, with a few funky additional features. First off, the search URLs are incredibly simple, as they just include whatever you are searching for. So, a search on A9 for "Techdirt" can be written as http://a9.com/techdirt. This makes it easy to do searches directly from the URL bar, as well as to pass on the results of searches. Then, of course, come the Amazon tie-ins - including direct ties to Alexa's site info results about any page and a direct link to Amazon's full text book search feature. The service also appears to record your search history to let you return to it. They also will record which sites you've clicked through, and let you know if you've already visited that site. I wonder if all the folks complaining about Gmail will now complain about this recording of search results? In the meantime, while this may just look like a new (more useful in some circumstances) interface for Google, it still raises a ton of questions about where this places Amazon vs. Google. As John Battelle points out, they may paint a happy partnership face on it - but the original story remains the same. The two companies risk becoming much more competitive... especially if Google's real goal is to become the interface for everything. Instead, Amazon has just stepped ahead of them as the interface for some things. Update: Reading more into the features of A9, there are some other funky features in the toolbar that they launched with it that I'm positive will upset some privacy folks. It looks like it's really just a morphing between a Google-like toolbar and Alexa's toolbar in that it records where you go while letting you do searches. It also lets you take notes and annotate a page, which you can then access from any computer where you've installed the A9 toolbar.

Feature


The Legality Of Amazon's Search The Book
Feature
11/11/2003 10:32 AM
Who better to discuss the legality of Amazon's new full text search feature, than a copyright lawyer who is also an author? Over at News.com, Doug Isenberg points out that if you happen to do a search on the system of "fair use" and "internet", you'll actually get the passage from his book describing how one of the determinants of whether or not something is fair use is how it impacts the sales of the book. So, while he's was a bit surprised, as an author, to find out his entire book was online via Amazon, it's probably perfectly legal. In fact, he says that the publishers probably do have the right to make that call (no matter what the Authors Guild says), though he admits that almost no one probably thought about this potential use of their work when they signed their publishing deal.
