Okay on a serious note this is how the juice plug-in works.  You simply highlight some text that you want to research more into and then drag a bit.  At that point the juice plug-in takes over and begins to give you a sidebar filled with research results from Google Wikipedia YouTube Google blog search and more.  The plugin also lets you capture images and video to a personal library which you can save you at a later date. The people who develop juice say the system uses an intelligent discovery engine which performs the data mining using a series of connecting keywords and pulls relevant search results from the services.

Unfortunately the service is available only on Firefox 3 so if you have been holding out on upgrading your browser you won't be able to use these interesting features.  Also I'm not sure where they store your search results so transferring them between PCs or if you upgrade your current PC may be a bit of a problem.  Also you may have some problems when trying to data mine on very large amounts of selected text as a system seems to choke a bit and provide less relevant results.  The best results will be selecting a small amount of text and then building off of those searchers.  Also in the future the plug-in plans to be able to share your results with other people and then dynamically build on the research of other people.  Currently that feature is unavailable but the people at the juice development team say they are working on it.  Another disappointing feature is that you can't select what resources the juice plug-in will use to perform the data mining operation. Sometimes I'd prefer not to receive search results from blogs and amateur writers, but hey maybe they'll build in the feature by the time the plug-in goes into production. You can download Juice here
