New Search Engine Shows Images, Not Text
By: Priyanka Pradhan   |   Dec 01, 2006

A new visual metasearch engine, PageBull.com, offers search results in the form of images instead of text. PageBull compiles screenshots of all the pages which have the search keywords and presents them to the user, while it abandons text altogether. The search engine even highlights the search terms in the screenshots.

The images shown in PageBull shows the search results in a 3 by 4, 2 by 6 or 4 by 3 image grid, depending on the window size of the web browser used. Users can use a drop down menu to customize the image grid, according to their needs. Moreover, users can click on a small info link on the screenshots, which shows the relevant information, related to the page. Also, the + sign on the screenshots will generate a larger image of the relevant page.

PageBull also offers classic text results on demand.

However, PageBull needs a fast broadband Internet connection, with a speed of 1 Mbps or higher (DSL, cable or office network) and JavaScript must be enabled in the users' computer.
