Yolink, formerly ChunkIt!, is a personal search engine available for Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
Description
Yolink is a downloadable add-on for the Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers. Its function is to mine embedded hyperlinks on any Web page and display them as "chunks"[1] of web data in a two-panel format[2] as seen in the screen shot below. By clicking on the ChunkIt! icon next to each result, users can view the same chunk highlighted on the referenced web page in the right panel, eliminating the need to manage multiple windows.[3]
It can be used to "chunk" any website, search engine, online documents (PDF, etc.), and online shopping sites.
Since its public debut, ChunkIt! has garnered mostly positive feedback, including receiving 4/5 stars from a CNet.com editor's review.[4]
