Bryant Hayward pointed me to a search engine called searchme.com . At first I would honestly expect to see yet another  searchengine that has some cool algorithm to index the pages by. But searchme.com really blew me away. What it does different and actually does very good is the way it presents the results. It categorizes the results first and presents them as small icons. So a general search for book first categorizes the results in the types of books (fiction, non fiction etc). If you search for something specific like Ruby you get of course computers and services, but also jewelery and music (and more)

 The results after selecting the category is presented in a cover flow type of manner- what is shown are actual screenshots of the websites so you can scan quickly what the sites are all about. If you don’t like it, you can click on the bottom arrow and get a listing of the results…

 I really was taken by the ease of use and the way the information was presented- well thought out and an absolute joy to use. The site is still in beta- but you can get instant invites by signing up with your e-mail adres.
