Search engine firm Google has released an interesting trial tool which is concerning some net users because it directs people to pre-selected commercial websites.
The AutoLink feature comes with Google's latest toolbar and provides links in a webpage to Amazon.com if it finds a book's ISBN number on the site.
It also links to Google's map service, if there is an address, or to car firm Carfax, if there is a licence plate.
Google said the feature, available only in the US, "adds useful links".
