Cool feature on “The Wall street journal”

A cool new feature on WSJ is the ability to search on terms within the text. Looks like something that isn’t really exciting, but …. As web 2.0 or even thinking of web 3.0 and all kind of terms as vertical search, tagging and ajax, this is cool. When you do a right click on a word or a couple of words it’s immediatly submitted to the search engine. With a simple overlay box the related articles to the search term are displayed. See for yourself

This feature i will implement as soon as posible. First of all it’s cool to have, and i think it’s something that when people get used to something like this it’s much easier to select what kind of related articles you want to read. It’s much more difficult to get the related articles that a user really want get on an article another way.

I am thinking of creating this feature in php and make use of the xajax project.  And i will post the code here aswell

If you have any suggestions feel free to comment
