Remember that snarky website link you would send to people when they asked you a question they could find the answer to themselves with a simple Google search? Or maybe you would be on the receiving end of the link…
No matter. We bring it up because finding answers to your queries isn’t nearly as simple as we teased that it was. These days, we make a query and get a web of answers.
We’ve been watching this year as great minds build solutions from the ground up, rethinking the models, algorithms, and UIs of the search engine as we know it. But today’s newsletter is about productivity tools that enable you to navigate across the web like a boss with the browser you already have.
That includes tools like LINER, which we’ve watched evolve over the past years from a popular web highlighter tool to a search engine results curator. Today’s latest launch, Google Search Scanner, lets you filter out irrelevant search results with the click of a button right in the browser.
“As time passed, LINER's accumulated highlight data kept on getting powerful. We now have millions of pages that are confidently 'Picked by LINER,' and we wanted to provide users an extraordinary experience of searching.”
Founder Brian Woo also shared that the makers are planning a similar feature for image search, too.
So whether you still heart Google, Bing, etc., or want to share a few tools with your friends who do, here are 6 more tools to prevent endless scrolling.
