Let’s face it: Nothing beats Google when it comes to Web searches, but its actual search-result pages could use some work. Specifically, it’s not always easy to tell if you’ve found what you’re looking for just by looking at the text snippet that accompanies each link.
Enter Searchme, which borrows from Apple’s Cover Flow to present search results using giant, scrollable thumbnails. Just type in your search term, then use the scroll bar to flip through the results. See something you like? Click it to open the full page in a separate window. You can also click any of the off-to-the-side “covers” to make it jump directly to the front.
Want to preserve a page for future reference? Searchme lets you build a “stack,” into which you can drag and drop pages as you sift through searches. You can also share stacks with others.
In short, this is a way-cool search engine that’s actually better than Google when it comes to previewing results. [via Lifehacker]
