    Hey,

    I really like the design, it is simple to use and looks very nice, sleek and subtle. But I don't see its function?

    For example, I didn't find anyway to choose which search engine to use, I had to keep clicking until I got to the one I wanted. Also it does not provide any more function than the search engines offer, so why not just go to Google? why go through your site?

    Sorry, this may seem very critical but I am only pointing out what I think, please prove me wrong. Other than that I love the design and idea, maybe some people would prefer to use it.

    Let me know how it goes :)

    I was on their earlier and thought it was great :D

    Maybe have some icons for each of the sites you can search on at the bottom or something so people don't have to click through them all?

    I sat there for a good five minutes.

    Then I clicked the logo, and I was like "Oh, OH, OOOHHHH"

    Yeah, better make that easier to know it's function really.

    Your site is a search engine now? Thought it was something else?

    lol. Yeh... I think I might remove the hover over the logo to say "Next Engine"

    My site is actually a time machine that can take you back to 1946 to a war torn Britain. You just gotta know how to use it D:

    I really like the color scheme, and the sleekness of the site. Nice work, but what happened to the other idea of a social network?

    So.... is that it, or will there be more? I should hope so.

    Also, I agree with everyone that there should be more intuitive features there. I thought it was only a Google search until I read the rest of this thread.

    Thats nice and all but usability is in the pits!

    You need some sort of block of text with how to use the site or what its about.

    IF it wasn't for random clicking, I'd still be sitting here wondering what to review.

    Mind sharing the base script before you edited?
