"It's quite a challenge really: how does the Number 1 search engine on the web rewrite its search algorithm and test its effectiveness without hurting its current results and user-experience during the testing process? Sergey Brin and Larry Page seem to have figured it out: create a new search engine, and do your testing there! SearchMash.com is the evolution of Google, and should things go right, what Google will (soon enough) become. It tests a range of new features and methods of bringing information to the users' fingertips in more ways than immediately obvious to the eyes."

The interface ?
Its just a box - it doesnt let me narrow my search down ....... .
searchengines.net gives a nice overview of whats possible ... well lots of searchengines
What Id like is that the results are split up into categories - or presented sexy & interesting in a web which colur codes all results according to .. somethin - the software is out there .
A beagle style engine IMO would be cool .
"web2" online programs would be great for this - a proper search application with maybe sharing like mailing P2P integrating with youtube myspace .. anything .. options ?
Something which lets the user actually handle the 200million or so results one can get better .
EDIT : discovered the side panels once the search is done - nice - IMO should always be avtivated by default - to give an instant view of whats available .
It must be somehow possible to make all results scrollable but only transmit the visable results & anything else when needed ... propably useless idea
