The Web Assistant processes the page you're currently viewing and recognises key words and phrases in the story.

A window pane to the right of the main screen aggregates the most common types of online searches, listing each under a tab -- such as On The Web for a conventional search, In The News for news stories, Images, and Reference (which currently points to Wikipedia).

Clicking any of the highlighted words in the main article automatically fetches up relevant links under each of those tabs, to save you from manually visiting a search engine and entering the text.

Users can also create specialised sets of 'Web Assistant bookmarks' to aggregate any links related to a particular story.
