Not likely, because while using Searchme is intuitive and rather amusing due to its graphical interface. Chances are you will be able to locate exactly what you are looking for within several tries but this does not mean that the results can come back quite as fast when using Google. One major difference between Searchme and Google lies in its main interface. While Google is squeaky clean with its virginal white interface, Searchme chooses to stand out with its dynamically black layout and fancy visual elements.

Here’s a little info nugget on Searchme. This new company is set to rock the search engine industry with its $31 million investment, most of which came from Sequioa, a VC firm that coincidentally also contributed to Google once upon a time when it was a little upstart company. Searchme’s chairman is none other than Sequioa’s co-founder Mark Kvamme and its CEO, Randy Adams, an established webtrepreneur. The team does not want to directly compete with Google at this point of time but they are looking break the norm of old fashioned text-and-list search engines while creating new opportunities and experiences for search users.

Searching is really intuitive with Searchme. A slider is presented at the bottom of the page where you can move back and forth to flip between pages. Searchme uses Ajax and various web programming tricks so that it eliminates the need for a conventional help page. And when you tire of these swanky search results and long for good old fashioned text links, all you need to do is click on a button located beneath said slider and results in the form of text links will appear.

Search users out there will be glad with the options thoughtfully laid out by Searchme. How many times have you wished that your search results will be segregated into different categories? Now with Searchme, typing “SEO” in the search blogs will bring up a bundle of categories such as “software”, “web development”, “blogs” and “companies”, all readily available to further assist your searches.

Google might not have reason to feel threatened yet but I am guessing that if the right steps are taken, Searchme could mark a revolutionary change in search engines.
