Ask YC: What do you think of my new search engine?
Pretty impressive results for the terms I searched for. Unfortunately, the design made me temporarily go blind.In all seriousness, the name is pretty horrible and I "feel" as if I am using a website, not a tool. Google feels like a tool - I get in an out quickly, it doesn't invade my flow. Your application (and others, like Mahalo) are so visually invasive I would never use them, no matter the results that we returned.Not really a design thing - although it stems from the design - more like a workflow thing... I dunno, hard to describe.
