Browsing minus the surprises

In a world of digital technology, we get more impatient about pages loading and realizing it’s not what we’re looking for. Having been familiar with Avid computers, I always loved browsing the Internet with two desktop screens — it just makes things easier. What I’ve found that can closely resemble my fish eye browsing techniques is the Searchme tool.

What this search engine basically does is that it visually display the pages in our search. For example if I search “art toys” I could visually see the search results that come up without any non-office friendly surprises. Hence their slogan “You’ll know it, when you see it”. Like the iTunes album browser, the horizontal scroll bar helps browse through pages with miniature previews so I wouldn’t have to waste my time on clicking and closing or clicking and back tracking. What I search– I will see, there is no time wasted. This search engine makes what I’m looking for… literally, what I’m looking for.

Just like Google, I can search whatever I’m looking for under categories, which also makes it super convenient. But the little touch that makes it distinct is that if I start typing letters, the categories start to minimize themselves. The system guesses what you’re looking for and places them into prospective categories that will help narrow your search. This is a great tool for my research and field because because not only is it perfect for me because I’m a visual learner, but it enables me to see multiple internet pages at once to pick up the pace of searching items or news.
