Amazon Drops Features From A9.com
Posted on October 3, 2006
Amazon has dropped features A9.com. Some of the dropped features include A9's street-level block view feature, bookmarks, search history and the yellow pages feature.
Search Engine Watch says A9 has become "sort of nothing" without the dropped features. SEW also says BlockView was the best feature on A9. Amazon does not appear to be willing to invest enough money into search to compete with its more popular search rivals.
Amazon.com has switched the main provider of its A9.com search results from Google to Microsoft's Live.com search engine. Amazon is also using IceRocket.com for blog search as well as other third party searches like Flickr and Wikipedia.
