The site, SearchMash, has a simple blue and white interface with a search bar and an option to click on "popular searches." Once keywords are entered, the results page features links to results running down the left side of the page...."

Entertaining: enter "google" as a search word, and check out the third image result.

If you are a programmer, you can access all the results of this page via JSON:<a class="user" href="http://www.searchmash.com/results/battle+of+fort+sumter">http://www.searchmash.com/results/battle+of+fort+sumter</a>I wonder if they will open this as an API similar (or a part of) to google search API...

I think it terribly ugly. However, I like the lack of anything really there. Just a barebones search. If this is a UI experiment, please Google, move onto the next template.

Well it would've been nice if that popped up in the dupe results when submitting the story. Bury this one and Digg the other one if you want. BTW tonyruscoe I am sorry for duping your story.

I love the minimalistic look - especially in the image results - compare that to Google. All the Ajaxness makes it awesome too - man - nice search....

I tried two different searches and both yielded nothing but this in red letters:"Oops, an error occurred! Please try again later."o_0

I love the "more results" on the same page, especially for images. The context menu for search results is cool too, but could have more useful (perhaps customizeable for less clutter/specific needs) options.
