The FindForward search engine leverages Google's Web API as well as technology from thumbshots.org. It's a nifty search engine interface, provides RSS and ATOM feeds from search results, and a whole bunch of other search categories in an easy to use menu format.

The search grid results are a new way of thinking about search for me - interesting.

Lots of fun ways to search here. Makes me wonder about what the future of search engines will be. When will news, email, instant messaging, web content, everything on my hard drive, and other bundles of info all be instantly searchable, and customizable to my tastes instantly and in real time?

The X1 local search program is cool, and when Longhorn (next version of Windows) is released, we can expect extensively increased capabilities in the area of searching for and using multiple types of information. But what will actually work?

Will be very interesting to see what happens.
