Yeah, I see what you mean. Maybe there are certain things that the different search engines do better. Most of the time when people are searching, they don't really know specifically what they are looking for, google seems great for this, for one thing because of how fast it is. I might think about that some more, in the mean time here is another visual search engine. And some comments made about it which I will reference in a second.

"Pros:
- Breaks searching down into visual topical categories
- Allows you to save searches (called saved maps)
- Also searches your computer for documents and files
- Filter searches by domain or source
- Navigation is done via the program and not by clicking on webpage links
Cons:
- Search time is 5-10X greater than any regular text-based search engine
- The categories are not specific enough and the information requires too much time to process
- Doesnt have a toolbar and thus is not integrated into my regular web usage
- Requires start-up as a separate program (again not part of my regular usage)
- The interface if confusing and non-trivial"
