    functions are good but spam sites seem to get high results.

    Wow, you Google-haters are really grasping at straws. I realize Google really dropped the ball lately with their Big Daddy update, but you have to come up with something better than snap.com to rally behind. As others have mentioned, the interface is completely bloated, and compared to Google/Yahoo/MSN it is slow as molasses.

    Can I ask you why you would boycott the excellent results G gives for a SE that's homepage is over 7 times bigger?

    I don't know why people even bother trying to make new search engines anymore.

    I think its very interesting.

    I do like how you can take a quick peek at the page for each site before deciding which one to visit.

    May be a little too complicated for the average internet user but it has potential

    great concept, poor execution. Its like looking at a cache snapshot which is good but could turn bad if you get to the site and it looks different.

    Theres too much going on, its really crowded. Now take somewhat of that idea(snapshots), update them a lot(not going to happen but should), then set up a simple standard SE resault page, finally have the snapshot appear like the template previews do in Joomla, as you mouse over the title. Maybe a bit bigger than the joomla ones but along those lines.

    That would clean everything up and be kind of cool. I still prefer the simple, easy to use setup. Thats why I really like google over msn and yahoo. When you load up google.com its just the search and a few links, not 10 billion other things I really could care less about. Simple and to the point.

    Too slow...results and features are good; maybe when they get a bit faster I'll use them over Google. :)

    I thought the search was ok. Didn't stay too long.

    I think it's a little early to say it's a Google Killer.

    Slow for me on my fast high-speed connection. My site listed in Google is not even on this site.

    It's a rather interesting concept...at first appearance you think to yourself "OH BIG SHINEY GUI BUTTONS YEY!" and then you realise the site looks a lot like something I've seen before...possibly amazon (Okay a little far fetched[admitedly]) I'm curious where they are fetching their results from, and what the user agent of their spider is? (If they aren't directly feeding from another search engine)

    If that's the case then maybe Google should buy them! Sorry, I couldn't resist saying that with many sites disappearing in a "snap" from Google these days. Honestly, I think Google will have this problem worked out by the 4th of July.
