Editor's review of GooglePreview

4.0 stars
"Look before you leap"

This Firefox plug-in only performs one simple job, but it is pretty clever and totally free of charge. To put things simply, GooglePreview displays a thumbnail preview of your Web searches next to their descriptions. The program works with Yahoo as well as Google, but doesn't support any other search engines. This plug-in lacks extensive customization options, but you can limit the maximum number of returned images up to 100.

In our tests, GooglePreview was completely accurate and didn't slow down our searches, though a tool for magnifying the thumbnail without actually having to visit the site might be a good improvement for future releases. GooglePreview isn't essential, but it won't cost you a dime and certainly comes in handy.

"Not bad"

by cimek on June 17, 2008

Pros: I like it, You can actually see the thumbnail of a webpage from google and yahoo search result. But...

Cons: ... It would have been better if if you can click the thumbnail and see the the bigger thumbnail of the page without visiting it since the thumbnail image is very small.

"Does the job"

by billy525 on June 12, 2008

Pros: Works as eye candy on a search results page and actually gives you a preview of a website before clicking on it. Although the preview is to small to read any text the picture of the website can be very helpful when searching for websites never visited before. Google does it again

Cons: It needs an option to enlarge the preview so the text on the preview is readable. Other than that it delivers as advertised.
