Yeah, I clicked around some after I posted and realized it was not as general purpose as I remembered it. I am not a search person, though, so wasn't how far removed from general it was. In particular, the visual search stuff seems even more impressive, honestly. Assuming it works. (I would guess that is a huge assumption.)
A9 failed to compete in general search, so Amazon turned it completely inward as a product search engine.
