On Friday ChunkIt launched in a private beta. ChunkIt is a search download that sits on top of existing results and enables users to preview them before clicking. Relevant “chunks” of content are called out in a separate pane that splits the screen between the engine and the ChunkIt page.
At this stage it sounds a lot like other search plug-ins, toolbars or search “side bars” that have come before. However, CEO Carlton Baab objects to the concept that this is simply another plug-in or search toolbar. He characterizes it instead as a “search engine for the browser.”
