The extension Googlepedia for Firefox 2 is really, really cool
The extension Googlepedia is the best thing since the advent of Google and HDTV. Search for something in Google and with Googlepedia you’ll not only get the Google result but the Wikipedia result as well. It’s more of a find as much useful information at once tool.
It does not need to replace the Wiki search itself, but it sure does add to the unused whitespace on Google’s search results with little to no impact on performance. Just another niceity. Think of how much time you could save with this extension! No more double typing, it’s just one search away for all the deets you could ever want!
Googlepedia shows you a relevant Wikipedia article along with your search results. Clicking links in the article will trigger new Google searches, making it a very useful research tool. It’s the best ad-on they could ever come up with! Googlepedia is really, really cool. You do a lot of Google searching and Wiki searching, this extension will give you access to more information much faster than you could have done it before.
