"Yahoo introduced a new feature Wednesday designed to help make online research easier. Dubbed 'Search Pad,' the new companion search tool will enable users to keep track of Web sites and take notes when conducting online research. Currently in beta, Search Pad will allow students, information workers and Internet surfers on a mission to do away with cutting and pasting content to a word-processing document or email; bookmarking the search results or a bevy of sites; or simply writing pertinent results down on a sticky pad or notebook. These extra steps, in addition to being sometimes unwieldy, consume a good bit of time and can prove to be a distraction, according to Yahoo."
