ChunkIt! provides users with a one click solution that quickly and easily enhances the search results from any Web site or search engine, including Google, Yahoo!, MSN Live Search, AOL and Ask. ChunkIt! searches for the relevant "chunks" of information hidden behind the links and extracts them with the keywords highlighted, so users can efficiently find the information they want without clicking through endless links and opening multiple windows.

During the beta period, 96% of the users surveyed reported that ChunkIt! helped them find information faster on the Web. "ChunkIt! is an awesome search tool," said Daniel Khalessi, a ChunkIt! beta user. "I've downloaded many search tools to try and help with my Web searches and research, and in the end none really helped me find the information I was looking for quickly. ChunkIt! is a powerful search tool that saves me hours of time searching through Google results and Web pages. Now that I use ChunkIt!, I can't search the Web without it."

"Despite improved search algorithms, people spend lots of time clicking on link after link, hoping to find the needle in the haystack. ChunkIt! solves this problem by analyzing and extracting the information you are looking for, eliminating the time wasted clicking on lame links," said Carlton Baab, CEO of TigerLogic. "ChunkIt! not only enhances search engine results, it searches and retrieves information behind any link on any Web page, whether you are shopping on Amazon for a digital camera with specific zoom features or whether you are a student conducting research on sites like LexisNexis."

According to research by Microsoft, roughly a third of Web searches don't get answered correctly on the first search and first click. Usually searchers find the information they want eventually, but that often requires multiple searches or clicks on multiple search results. A main cause for this problem is that a search result may look promising based on its short description, but instead it turns out to be irrelevant when the actual page is visited, resulting in wasted time. ChunkIt! saves searchers time by exposing the contents of the search results so that they can determine which results best align with their intent. In addition, by reviewing the contents behind the search results, users may easily identify other keyword combinations to further refine their searches and gain better results.

ChunkIt! helps everyone save time, whether you are a shopper, student, teacher, parent or business professional, by making almost any search task on the Web faster and easier, including:

• Online shopping - ChunkIt! shows the keywords users are looking for in item descriptions and product specifications, saving lots of time in online comparison shopping on sites like eBay and Amazon
• Academic research - ChunkIt! seamlessly previews the valuable contents stored within the links of research sites like LexisNexis, JSTOR, ScienceDirect and Wikipedia
• Searching news sites - ChunkIt! makes it easy to find stories about the specific topics users are looking for on news sites with countless links like the Drudge Report, ESPN.com and Perez Hilton
• Reading blogs - ChunkIt! makes it easy to review which blog posts contain the subject matter users are looking for without needing to read through every single post
• Classified items and apartment hunting - ChunkIt! lets users dig deep into Craigslist to find classified items and apartments with the features they want in a snap
• Investment analysis - ChunkIt! takes the hassle out of looking through the countless pages of SEC financial filings
