You can do the same thing in WordWeb Pro, the paid-for application of WordWeb. You type in what you want to look up, as you would type any term whose definition you wanted; then shift-tab to the Wikipedia tab; and you're taken into wikipedia with your term highlighted. Kurzweil1000 also has a wikipedia lookup feature. So, Research It is one among several apps that do this. Which lookup/browsing means is preferred - manual or automated tool - is a matter of one's own liking and/or convenience.

OK, I am going to be lazy here. I've never used Research It, does it reformat the page from wikipedia or something? What is the advantage? I just go to en.wikipedia.org and type in my search in the first edit box and hit enter. Poof, all I need? How does Research It make that any simpler?
