Documents (doc,docx,xls,xlsx,pdf etc) preview functionality with sharepoint search

I have been working with this product called Longitude for sharepoint for some time now. I must say this is a great product that extends shrepoint search capabilities. It lets users preview documents without the necessity to download them as shown:

 

Some of the other kool features of the product are:

• Faceted Navigation (let users refine results based on grouping by document metadatas)
• Popularity tagging
• Key concepts (based on document tagging)
• Documents preview, download, print etc functionality right on the search results page.
• XSLT based customization of Search UI
• Parametric Search
• Hit highlighting
• Wild card Search
• Enhanced People Search etc

With these features, finding the relevant information is 10 times faster than with the default sharepoint search.
