I never think of accessing Amazon via Research It! Mostly my local weather at a station only a mile from home and occasionally a look at news. I have used One look dictionary for years on the web and Google for years. I tried to find a person once but there was no way to actually see if the person was who I was actually looking for and results were minimal. I could use currency, except, if the item is on a site that won't do that for me, or if it wants me to use PayPal I just don't buy since I have had nothing but headaches with PayPal. Accessible it may be, but it has not been so for me and I am not a computer novice. So, because it comes up so often I tried Amazon search this morning, it worked to show me sales on Kleenex Now next time I want to check local weather, it will probably give me an error since I am so used to having my zip code there that I will probably press enter without thinking! LOL on me!
