Well this is interesting… Result page looks a lot like searchmash…

My new project (http://www.fisssh.com) has been taking stick all week for daring to collate search results from various sources and presenting them in (heaven forbid) a two-column format.

My point is… If some users want broader and richer search experiences they might just have to sacrafice the ‘1-10′ list they have become so accustomed to.

Anybody else thinking the number of new search engines, search experiments and search betas is getting too high lately?

Here are some that I was able to memorize over the past months…

Wink, Snap, Hakia, Wikio, Wikiseek, Lexxe, ChaCha, Quintura, NosyJoe,
Srchr, Kooltorch, Kartoo, Sphere and how many more?

Here are more for you:

Is this a particular sign that the search sector calls for changes and improvements or rush hour for gold miners?

I am known with my username on the startpage but no longer on the search-results page (then I am suddenly a “guest”)

I think it is on the lines of google’s “SearchMash”…..

It is just another aggregator search engine, and I did not find it that attractive, at least not like A9 cause the customizations are limited.

Its got a nice user interface which is uncluttered at the moment and on that front it is good. Whether it will be kept like that when it leaves the beta stage I will have to wait and see.

I’m sure it’s a great service, but that fact that it’s called “Alpha beta” is sucking up almost all of my attention right now.

I fail to see how this is substantially different from A9 Search.
