Visual Search Engine is the next step towards future search. With Visual Search the search results are presented in an Interactive Visual Manner as shown below (click to enlarge):
Searchme is a nifty service that features a Visual Search Engine for all search queries you make there. See the search result for mrintech, the results are presented in a clean manner with lot of Visual Appeal.
The caveats of Visual Search Engines are as follows:
- Very Very Less Result – The Search Engine will provide you 30-40 Results based on the search terms you enter there. These results will stand nowhere as compared to the Search Results Provided by Google, Yahoo! etc., which are highly optimized.
- Bandwidth – Consumes a whole lot of Bandwidth as the complete search results are displayed in Flash.
Apart from the above brickbats, who knows the future? Maybe Big G (Google) employs Visual Search Engine one day or the other. Hope is alive!
