Solution: SearchMe offers a unique, visual interface to display search results
Google dominates the search engine landscape in the US to such an extent that the term has entered everyday vocabulary. "Just Google it...." is an expression that resonates with both tech and non-tech savvy folks alike, but it may come as a surprise that there ARE other search engine alternatives out there.
One such example is Searchme.com. The main selling point of Searchme is not necessarily the accuracy of the results (although it performs well on this front), but rather how they're presented. Rather than returning a standard text-heavy list of results, Searchme offers users a highly visual presentation with big image previews of each Website.
The feature that I really like is the video search function. Searching for video clips returns big, bold screengrabs from available video clips that you can play right within the search results page. A very nifty and useful way of digesting video.
Now for the reality check. Searchme is never going to replace Google when it comes to the relevancy of results. But its novel presentation is enough for me to keep checking back from time-to-time.
Check out the video above for a full walk-through.
