Remember SearchMash – now there is a FLASH searchMash.
Click on a listing in the SERPs and it brings up a Flash thumbnail on the right of the site
Double Click and you go to the site – IN AN IFRAME – like you do on Google images |
This is great. You can pull your search history on the left, too. |
[Moved from "SearchMash Goes Flash" – Tony]
The experimental site by Google is now available in flash. It is much more interactive than the plain HTML one. They also implemented the Snap preview technology.
You can try it out here:

Here are some screenshots (hope they are going to load):

What do you think about it? Should Google adopt this interface? |
I hate the small but irritating time delay while it says "Loading", but I'm a bit old-fashioned like that. |
I think this would be perfect just for searching, say a destkop application. (Prism) |
I actually quite like this version of SearchMash. Shame it doesn't open the links properly though. |
I love this flash interface. Although SearchMash isn't really deployed as a primary use search engine, I might even consider using this over Google. |
