 Hang Ten with SurfWax Metasearch
SurfWax's home page is deceptively sparse, offering just a search form, two pull-down menus, and a few links to advanced features and info.
SurfWax shows you exactly which elements on a page are the ones it has determined are most relevant to your query.
SurfWax has additional features available if you register, including the ability to build your own customized interface into the Invisible Web, and save your SiteSnaps (from web pages, Doc files, or PDF files) in an "InfoCubby" where they can be re-used, annotate, and shared with other users.

 LLRX.com - Web Critic: SurfWax: A Surfing Tool With Real Research Potential
SurfWax works off the concept of SearchSets, which are sets of search and topical resources.
Another bonus of SurfWax's programming (which creates SiteSnaps automatically, in real time) is that it will distill non-HTML documents (such as Word, PDF or Excel) into text, without the necessity of launching the appropriate software or viewer.
Since all of SurfWax's features are available on the Palm VII, collaboration could happen even when some group members are on the road, in a meeting or otherwise without access to a computer.

 Plagiarism Grant Report
Research was conducted on these companies and the three most suitable were Turnitin, Eve, and Surfwax that appeared to be the best for doing a pilot study.
We found in the pricing that Turnitin was more than we wanted to afford, but TLTR gave us $674 to allow a limited number of faculty the ability to use Eve and Surfwax for the study.
In addition to uploading student papers to these two sites, the subcommittee was also interested in discussing academic integrity and revising the SRU handbook for students that would revise the policy now in place if academic cheating took place.
