About a month ago I posted about the return of metasearch, search engine overlap and results comparison tool Jux2, after it was sold via an eBay auction in late October to a group of Internet entrepreneurs from Minneapolis.
I’ve just noticed that the new owners are continuing to develop the service. That’s good news.
In the past 10 days, web results from MSN Search have been added to Jux2. Now it’s easy to quickly and easily compare and analyze results from four web databases:
+ Ask Jeeves
+ Google
+ MSN Search
+ Yahoo
That’s not all that’s new.
A Jux2 Firefox (look for the link on the homepage) plugin is available and a just released Jux2 toolbar for IE is online.
Jux2 was the winner of the Best Meta Search Engine in our 5th Annual Search Engine Watch Awards last March.
