Yolink,
at first glance, looks very similar to QTsaver.
They
both extract relevant paragraphs from several internet documents into one
results' page.
QTsaver
started in 2005.
Yolink
- in 2008 (under the name ChunkIt! until 2009).
Yolink,
was developed by TigerLogic, a company from Portland, OR.
But
while QTsaver was standing alone using results from Google, Yahoo and Wikipedia,
Yolink is an Add-on to browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari and a
widget for blog tools like WordPress and Typepad.
You
can see a few nice presentations of Yolink in action on:

Yolink
is based on a Patent
"Systems and Methods of Displaying Document Chunks in Response to a Search
Request US 20090216736 A1" by Jeffrey
Matthew Dexter and Robert Smik.
QTsaver
was closed on 2006.
Yolink
is still running, and I hope that it will succeed more and more, since the
current Google-like Search Engine Results Page serves the giant money makers more
than the knowledge seekers, and "money blinds the eyes of the wise and twists
the words of the innocent" (Deuteronomy 16:19 ).
