About Searchmash

I was very surprised to find out how obscure Search Mash is even in the inner circlesof the Search community.

For those who don’t know, Search Mash is a Search Engine owned by Google that is used as a platform to test new features and ideas. One might even say that some elements seen on the engine are a preview of what’s to come.

Search Mash is ahead of the engine seen on Google.com e almost every technical aspect. The Query speed in infinitely faster, the navigational system much slicker and easier to use. Even the Search results seem to be more relevant, which means that the Search Mash seems to be tampering with the Algorithm itself as well.

I especially love the Search box’s fixed position on top, making it a lot easier to repeat a search.

Besides the right bar gadgets, the most visible and noticeable feature is the absence of pagination within the Search Results page. By taking advantage of Ajax, the Search Engine expands the retuls beneath each other.

I would love to see Google test out the new Adsytem within this platform!
