Tired of Google Search? Try SearchMe

The experience of using a search engine hasn't changed in about ten years.

In the mid 90s, Yahoo! was the best because they had a simple ontology-based category search. It was all text links and the web fit into that little nook:

Now the web is ginormous, and we have faster bandwidth. Sites like Viewzi have a chance to make a rich search experience possible.

SearchMe has a much nicer layout and experience. Start typing your search query, and categories appear below:

Besides having a photo and video view, SearchMe has something called Stacks. Say you are researching TechCrunch50 and you want to learn more about Mahalo:

It's gonna be hard to switch from Google, but I will make a point of using it at least once a day.
