Searching for less, not more

Article Abstract:

To use Gurunet, the user downloads and installs a 700KB application onto their computer. When the computer is connected to the Internet and the application is running, the user clicks on a word in any document while holding down the Alt key. This opens a window which has possible definitions of the word and a list of Web sites. For company names, stock information appears. Gurunet is still under development. Google is a Web search site that tries to rank the list of Web sites it returns on a given term. It weighs the number of links to a page where the term appears; terms with more links get a higher rank.

All offer download speeds in the 400K per second plus range, compared to 53K for a fast phone modem. These services make sense economically for users who are online for more than two hours a day. Where available, DSL offers the most cost effective and reliable service.
