Google's Test Search Engine

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-isn't-that-special dept.

Bengt noted Google's SearchMash which is a testbed search engine. Google spokesbot says: "The goal of Searchmash is to test innovative user interfaces in order to continually improve the overall search experience for our users. The experimental search engine looks very different from Google's Web sites and lacks Google branding. In this way, Google believes the site will yield more objective feedback from users."

    Ok,

    Is this some kind of joke?

    I just typed in "hd-dvd" on that searchmash.com website. And at the bottom of the page was a guy sucking another guys dick. Don't believe me? Try it yourself.. that's not the type of thing I'd expect to be seeing on a Sunday morning.

    You must be new here. Expect the mods at /. to post this same article at least 3 times, with the last one being 6 months from now.

    So maybe I should search for "I seldom search for images and don't want my results page cluttered with images just because someone on slashdot thinks it would be cool" to restore the feedback balance?
