Searchme -The Visual Search Engine
Searchme is a visual search engine with results primarily in a visual format (of course) with an image of the site. Are you a fan of Apple? Then this site might look familiar as the results are displayed in a way that is similar to browsing through albums in iTunes.
They say that their server holds/indexes about 1 billion + pages. That is nothing compared to Yahoo! which claims 20 Billion pages. More than that it reminded me of an application I downloaded sometime back called Spacetime.
The difference is spacetime does much more stuff than Searchme… well, more on Spacetime later.
Searching on Searchme…
When you log in, you see a clean page with a black background. This is the night theme and can be changed to white, which is the day theme.
A simple keyword search like “software developer” will lead you to many pages but nothing on resumes. Boolean does not work so adding more keywords is the only way to filter what you are looking for. I entered “software developer resume j2ee” and voila, it shows me many resumes. Choosing the Work & Career category didn’t help me much.
Check out the video below to see it work…
Is it worth checking out? Yes. Is it a good source for resumes? Nah, don’t think so as the engine is still very much in infant stages and will take time to grow.
A great engine if you like visual learning or you can scroll to the bottom to see the actual links.
Don’t forget to check out Spacetime.. I am sure they won’t be happy to see the Searchme product as a search engine.
Searchme is still a baby compared to other engines.
