We've all been there. Hip-deep in a project, two or three search tabs open, and half-a-dozen link-enriched pages like WordPress blog articles, Wikipedia entries and Google Docs on our screen. Faced with hundreds of links to information in PDF documents and ebooks, we're soon overwhelmed trying to find one simple piece of data in an information haystack. Normal search engines now return so much irrelevant information that we manage to waste a lot of time sifting through it to get to what we need.

Until now, that is.

With the launch of YoLink, the nature of Web searches has changed forever. YoLink not only searches pages, but also the links contained on those pages, and puts the information right at your fingertips. It prowls through PDFs and ebooks to find the bits of relevant date hidden within and presents them quickly and clearly. No more clicking on link after link to find the information you really want; a YoLink search saves individuals and small businesses both time and money.

YoLink has opened its API to allow integration into sites Web-wide. Those who blog on TypePad, Blogger and WordPress can offer context-relevant searches to their readers with the installation of a simple widget that does the heavy work of poring through multiple links to determine which match up with the search criteria. The clickable results are previewed in a separate window.

If you don't like how the information comes back, change YoLink's behavior and fine tune your results by clicking a button next to your browser's address bar. Also available is a desktop version for searching your computer or home network, and browser plug-ins for Firefox and Chome that put YoLink's incredible functionality exactly where you need them most.

You can store your YoLink results in an online account. Registration is free and requires only an email address. Or, all data and links can be saved to Google Docs, a handy feature if you want the results accessible by your team.

Everyone benefits by saving time, but small businesses in particular will see the benefits to the bottom line when they stop losing so many employee hours to what we used to call "a simple Web search." YoLink makes the jump from search to find with its slick interface and easy-to-understand features. That simple yet profound difference increases productivity by turning hours spent wading through search results into mere minutes.
