Gazoomy (http://www.gazoomy.com/) allows you to browse a directory of background wallpaper images. There are loads to chose from such as celebrities, nature, sports, cars, artistic, or you can even upload your own photo which makes the possibilities endless for your “own” Google-like search homepage.

For example, I use the stunning Cameron Diaz theme in black and white.

The search bar, unlike Google, is draggable. This means it doesn't obscure your favourite part of the image! It's also slightly translucent which is a nice touch.

The search results show ads and are powered by Google via the Google Custom Search Engine service. The results are tabulated into Web, Images, Video, News, and Blog which gives you a variety of results to chose from.

The URL for the resulting search page is too long to type, but you can bookmark it. Chose your them and select the Make This My Homepage button and you're away!!

Here's a video to help you get the idea:
