A9 comes out of hiding

Last year Amazon announced they would be getting into the search game by starting a subsidiary called A9. Today A9 launched and you can go check it out here: A9.com The main features that differentiate A9 from other search sites are its UI (user interface) which gives you a feeling that you have pages you can flip to and it appears you can save your search history by creating a user account.

Now I wonder if all the privacy advocates will rise up against A9 because it can save your searches. Post your thoughts on A9 in my comments section below!

Edited to add the following:
It turns out the search results listed on A9 are from Google. Take a look at the following page to see the highlights of the service:
