Snap.com a ajax serch engine offers an alternative to “text-in, text-out” searching with a site previews. Snap.com has been redesign again and now the ajax search engine is heavily on Ajax features, clustering, and related results, among other things.
some point of snap.com ajax search engine.
- first searching engine including large thumbnails preview of prospective pages.
- broadband search engine ( require broadband connection)
- out-dated web page thumbnail for page preview
- lump together search results financed by advertisers which advertisers web link on top search result.
What others say about Snap.com:
- “…this is definitely an interesting idea but it feels abit sluggish for me as you need to wait for the pictures to load…” — techgurls!!!
- “By combining commercial and noncommercial results in the same column, Snap cleared enough space on its home page to provide a large enough box that will provide snapshots of each Web site that appears in the rankings.” — Yahoo! Finance
- “My quick take is that I’m so used to Google’s dominant interface, I initially got lost using Snap. It takes some time to get the hang of it.” — John Battelle’s Searchblog

This stuff is amazing....
Thanks a lot. It is much better than a flash based search engine that i saw two years back. It used flash to display the same text content that google shows. A little bit of organization also. But then it gave the same info at much lower speeds. I can't remember the name.
But span is much better.
Hey.
Did you ever visit http://www.answers.com/
This web based encylcopedia/search engine has one very good feature.
Say you want to search fot spintronics in answers.com, just open a new tab and type www.answers.com/spintronics
Now if you have visited this site before, the part before the backslash will appear as completion. so you just have to type your search term.
That gives you a lot of edge in keyboard operation.
The question is why use this site when google search bar can also be reached by a keyboard shortcut. The point is that answers is also a encyclopedia. So it first searches relevant articles, shows them at the top and then gives the rest of the links.
