Read about this little beauty on the way in this morning, courtesy of PC Pro magazine (yes, a real paper based publication). Searchme, currently in beta, is a search engine that uses visual search results instead of the usual listings. Nice idea (see your results in a screen grab of the page) and a nice take on searching. However, the bit I thought was really neat was how the engine contextualises results on the fly.
Type in Indiana Jones and it'll offer you filtered search based on games, films, dvd's etc. However, type in Carbon offset and you'll be offered filtered search options based on global warming, plants, flights.
True, it's pulling in associated key words, but the interface makes it simple to drill down within a couple of clicks.
