How does LookWAYup help me search?

LookWAYUp uses your favourite search engine. LookWAYUp creates a query with one click that is probably right on the mark. You can search just the site that you're on even if the site doesn't have a search feature. You can also search the entire Web. LookWAYup's search is contextual. It doesn't just look up a word, it looks it up in the context in which it is being used on the page that you'e reading.

For example, search Altavista for the term "Diet" Click here to do this  You will find mostly weight loss diets. When you are on the Wellness web "Heart Disease and Diet" page, double-click the word "diet", select AltaVista then press "Search the Web". and you will find pages about nutrition, particularly in the context of heart disease.

Double-click on the term "propranolol" to launch LookWAYup. Pressing on "More..." will find the trade name "Inderal" and the terms "beta blocker" and "beta-adrenergic blocking agent". Pressing "Extended Search" will add these terms to the search and look this up on the web, even if the original term is not there.
