    Several months after unveiling a beta version, Amazon subsidiary A9 has officially launched its new web search portal.

    I've been using this since they launched the beta several months ago. Wonderful thing. I'm glad it's officially out. Now I'm looking for a way to integrate it into Safari or Omniweb.
