Contextual based search

Ok, I would like to demonstrate this new web application . The concept is very simple, highlight a word on the page and conduct basic, advanced, and vertical searches within web pages using keystrokes

This website is currently configured to search Google using the following keys:

  • G: Web
  • N: News
  • V: Video
  • I: Images
  • P: Products
  • D: Define

Keys can be personalized, by accessing the control panel. The control panel is accessed by pressing "L" on your keyboard. Anonymous user's customized keys are lost when the session expires. In order to save your keys and access them on any Launchkey-enabled website, you'll need to register.

I'm pretty sure you're eager to test so let me just throw some random words together like Honda Asimo, Coldplay, Wii, Google, Florida Gators, Michael Vick, Ubuntu, Iphone, Shrek, Super Mario, NFL, NHL, Linux, Mac, Vista, Firefox.

Why did I do this? Well, I wasn't big on downloading toolbars or being spoon fed the sites that I could search contextually. I hated copying and pasting terms into Google. I hated reading a blog or a comment on a user generated/social networking site and having no idea what they were referencing.

Well enough of the rambling, just tell me what you guys think.
