Microsoft threw open the doors to its worldwide research laboratories last week at its seventh annual TechFest event, an information technology expo during which the world’s largest software maker revealed programs designed to make solitary Internet searches a thing of the past.
The event debuted Search Together, a new plug-in to Internet Explorer that will help students, medical researchers and other prolific Web users collaborate on projects, allowing them to jointly save different searches and avoid redundancy. Another new project, CoSearch, is being designed to let groups of people participate in a Web search on a single computer by using multiple mice or even mobile phones.
