Amazon Quick Search

Widgets are a popular method of customizing a system with a series of additional functions that might not be originally supported or need improving. Amazon Quick Search is a widget that allows users to search Amazon for various products from their desktop, with various additional support options to refine the search.

As long as users have an application that supports widgets on their workstation, then using Amazon Quick Search is extremely simple. The widget opens up a small window that displays the Amazon name, the department categories and a search bar.

Users can select which department or just all departments of Amazon to focus their search on, then they can search away. The widget opens an Amazon web page with the search results automatically displayed that can be browsed immediately, saving time and making the process more efficient.

Amazon Quick Search does not provide many options, but the main option it provides is an extremely useful one. Via the options, users can select which particular domain of Amazon they want to search, which can be especially useful for international users or when browsing for a gift.

The different domains supported by Amazon Quick Search are; Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.ca or Amazon.co.jp. While the program could include more options, such as additional refinement options, like shipping options and Amazon prime support, yet it is not essential.

How useful Amazon Quick Search is greatly depends on how often users search for products on Amazon, for those who don't regularly use it, the minimal time it saves is not an issue. For those who do rely on Amazon a lot and often have difficulty with their browser directing them to the wrong domain, Amazon Quick Search is a very useful tool.
