Amazon's independent A9 unit is ready to officially unveil its customized search engine, which debuted in preview form last April. A9.com combines Web and image searches from Google, movie and book searches from Amazon and reference materials from GuruNet into an interface that can be custom tailored for each user. A9 also recommends Web sites in a TiVo-like fashion and includes a Diary for taking notes on a Web page. It is not yet clear if A9 will become a part of Amazon.com.
