Your Mission

You live in San Francisco. Your dog, Rascal, has been depressed ever since his playmate, a beagle named Patches, moved away. You’ve tried all the tricks to cheer him up, everything from ordering his favorite pizza to romps at his favorite beach, all with no luck. He’s still moping around, making frequent trips to stare out the kitchen window at Patches’ former backyard. You’ve decided to seek professional help and want to locate a good dog psychologist.

A New Search Engine

Take a look at this new search engine called SearchMe.

Instead of seeing the usual page with a list of Internet sites, along with their urls and a brief description, Searchme displays a stack of web page images that answer your search. As you click on a page within the stack, it immediately brings that web site’s home page to the front. The other neat thing is the way it organizes your search into various topics. For example if you search for “North Dakota”, it will sort the results by government, colleges and universities, real estate, campaigns and elections, weather, travel, hunting, work and career, agriculture, and courts.

Searchme has several tools available on their website:
- Searchme Toolbar
- a browser search plugin
- Searchme Mobile
- Searchme iPhone App
- Mini Searchme Widget

Take some time and check it out at Searchme.com.
