As the bandwidth of the typical Internet user increases, search engine companies are beginning to create new ways of visualizing web search. The SearchMe (still in beta) interface presents results as a series of screenshots of the actual websites; see below for an example of the "st. louis market research" search:
SearchMe also allows for the creation of "stacks" (basically bookmarked sites in a visual way), which you create by dragging a "site" from your results screen to be grouped with other sites. This is a nice feature, and could be useful for researchers browsing topics and other sites.
Other nice features are the highlighting of terms on the search results.
Overall, I've been initially impressed by this technology; I'll be using it more over the next few weeks to evaluate the relevancy of the search results as compared to Google and other engines.
