    Anyone recall a search engine that when you got search results, it presented the inside pages in a sort of book-page-turning format? I thought it was pretty cool and the name of the engine escapes me....but the way it presented inner pages and results was pretty wild....for the life of me, I never bookmarked it and wish I would've. If someoene remembers this one, please show the link. Thank you.

    That sounds familiar...if it is, that's too bad it went by the wayside. I remember how cool it showed each site's inner pages as you look at them like a book (head on) and you could click those "pages" and a thumbnail or something would appear as the actual page then....here is a weird visual meta search engine I used in the past: http://ww5.kartoo.com/ - however it used to have a better page display and presented pages better (in a visual way)....now the results are a bit muddled and text is too small in some instances.

    It had to be SearchMe and it was a very cool engine. It was my favorite for some time. I was very close with the owners of it and they even produced a brand new homepage and flyby for the results that was 10 times better then what you probably saw, just 1 day before it shut down. They kept fighting to keep it alive until the bitter end. As they were shutting down they had already indexed close to 10 billion pages. It is a shame that an engine with that much potential and a completely unique database goes away like that.
