Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils - Hector Berlioz
Funnily enough, there was already a project called SearchMash around before Google launched theirs:
I'm the author of the original open-source version, and by a strange coincidence, I was also the first person to discover their site was live. They'd not publicized it and I only found it when I was googling for references to mine:
http://blog.outer-court.com/forum/69943.html
Anyway, mine's a lot more exciting than theirs. :) It fetches all the links from the results, makes sure they're not dead or stale, and shows you a preview, all using a Java applet.
A plug would be lovely, I'm trying to get an audience for my project. Let me know if you'd like more info.
cheers,
Pete Warden
