I don't use it a lot but then I'm not doing very much work on my database either, at least not research. That said, I find it handy to initiate a search on a person with WebSearch and then revise the search in the site search form. So it acts like a basic form filler tool, saving that initial step. But that does not save very much time compared to that taken by reviewing results and refining the search. I accept that it launches a pretty wide search that can produce many results but that seems reasonable. I always narrow and widen different search terms on the same person in trying to ferret out relevant info. What data can be brought back into RM by using the internal browser? I've not discovered this feature, probably because I opted for the external pretty much from the get-go.

I probably overstated the capability. I think all you get with the internal browser is an Add Web Tag button.
