Visual Search Engine

When I though about the idea of visual search engine, the only thing that hit my mind was SLOW SLOW SLOW.

BUT I WAS WRONG

I got invitation to see the searchme private beta. The search engine idea is AMAZING without any doubt. How it works?

I typed in a keyword in the first screen. The screen had only one field (see the image bellow), as soon as I type the keyword, it gives me the relative category.



I entered leewayhertz and it showed me internet and web services, advertisement and marketing,web development, software and work & career. I can hit enter or I can click on one of the category. I clicked on the search all and it shows me the result of the keyword as images(see image bellow).


The resulting images arrived surprisingly fast and it doesn't ends here. I carefully saw the images the keyword I searched for(in this case 'leeewayhertz') was marked in yellow in the images itself. This is pretty cool.
