Do You Need a Simpler Research Tool?
Search engines are good for simple searches, but complex research demands research-specific features.
If you do research, you need this tool!
Research demands a dedicated tool optimized for complex research tasks.
Search Engine
- One and done searching
- Answers 1 question
- Supports only one user task – search
- Search is linear
- Each iteration is a new search
Research Tool
- Iterative, go back and forth
- Answer lots of questions
- Supports lots of research tasks
- Brings order to the chaos of research

No more massive history lists of visited URLs or cumbersome bookmarks:
Instead of:
- Bookmarking a page (cumbersome and distracting)
