Firefox Version of the hakia ScoopBar is now Available!
Finally, the Firefox version of the Scoopbar is ready for you to download and use.
What is the hakia ScoopBar? You can watch the demo here or read on. hakia ScoopBar is a new search tool and to the naked eye it just looks like a toolbar. But when you perform a search with the hakia ScoopBar, and click on the results, you will discover three new Web features not found in any other toolbar in use today:
o You will be pointed to the highlighted answer text- not keywords- inside the document, to save time
o You will be taken to the highlighted answer text with automatic scroll down, to eliminate “double searching” (Web search + search inside the Web document)
o You will have the option to then “Scoop ‘n Save†your search result into files you create on your hard-drive(under various project names) so that you can never lose your references
Congratulations to our lead developer, Volkan Vardar (in the picture with the scoop), who worked very hard on the ScoopBar.

I did not know about the Scoopbar. Thanks. Hakia is a bit different from the usual search engines. I hope it will establish itself. I’ve also blogged about it here:

Hi
The Scoopbar is certainly new to me. I totally rely on toolbars and have used the Google toolbar for ages. The Scoopbar may well serve to be the Google bar replacement if hakja continues with it’s rapid development and establishment across the web.

normally i never use the toolbar to search but have been using scoopbar its ok. but its frustrating “sometimes” that it just uses the same page u r using to show results.
