Search Yahoo! visually

I wrote a web service on top of Yahoo! BOSS APIs to build a visual search engine. Each web result page is shown as a thumbnail and the navigation is almost coverflow-style. It uses Javascript and AJAX, unlike “searchme.com”.

Some of the javascript code has been imported from open source components and the design is inspired from the site Favthumbs. The web previews are courtesy Thumbshots.
