The fastest search engine ever made. Period.

Google instant and youtube instant are cool but what about automatic finding! ;-)

i've developed a new kind of search engine which takes you straight to your result page, removing the browsing/searching/clicking part of the experience. I can reasonably claim that it is faster than google instant.

Check it out at : http://www.psykomatic.com/

I recommend using Chrome as a web browser. Your comments and suggestions are more than welcome! ;-)

It's just an image of a car for me - I don't seem to be able to make it do anything. What am I missing?

Same here. Spent 5 seconds trying to figure out where to click (I clicked everywhere). Sorry, meh.

which system/browser are you on?

Chrome 6.0.472.63 on Windows XP home edition version 5.1.

Check the bottom left corner.

Nothing there. I've clicked everywhere.

I've also tried taking a screenshot to help you, but I don't seem to be able to.

Good luck ...

Hey Giraffe rider. I updated the site. Please have a look again. Thanks for the feedback.

Really useful. I was fool enough to assume that it would work with same browser on different system. ;-)

Interesting. However, many of the pages I moused to reloaded without your bar at the bottom - wasn't sure what was going on at first.

I simply typed the letter 'b' into the box and it reloaded with Bank of America. It was fast in doing so, but not what I wanted. I agree it is an interesting concept, though.

by typing 'b' into the box it will look for the most relevant search with something starting with b. That means statistically 'bank of america' is the most searched term for users who starts with a letter 'b' in the US. Psykomatic search as you type so it will filter little by little the results until you get to your target. ;-) But there are chances your reach it before you finished typing.

If the suggestion is not what you wanted you just need to press enter to override the search.

Maybe I wasn't clear in my report. I was trying to type the word 'birds' but it opened bank of america before I could type any more and refreshed without the search bar. Effectively, I couldn't search for any word starting with a b after that because it would load instantly.

oh i see! That's rather unfortunate. Some websites steal the keyboard focus or have iframe buster that swallow the whole page.

I didn't find an elegant solution in order to avoid this yet. In the meantime, please consider the site as a proof of concept and try with an other letter ;-)

Hi runaway. It took me a while to figure this out but i manage to bypass frame busters. Please have a look again. Bank of America is one of the few exceptions where you won't be able to browse it directly (and that's good because a banking website is supposed to be secure! Although there is no bad intent with psykomatic this technic is sometimes used for spoofing! So thumbs up to them) but you can still click on the thumbnail to browse the page and it won't break the search to 'birds' anymore ;-)

yes, that's because some websites use a framebuster to not allow their sites to be embedded in iframes. Therefore the content absorb the page. Since i totally understand their point and i think most users doesn't search in a web page anymore but rather in the browser, i am thinking of puting together a new kind of web browser around this idea. Or try to find a frame buster buster...

Fixed the ie/linux issues. Have a look again: http://www.psykomatic.com

Found the search box after 3 seconds. However, your results are not relevant to the search query. That needs some improvement.

Cool site once you actually find the tiny little input box in the bottom left corner.

Thanks for the comment. I will look into that ;-)

no input box here, ubuntu 64bit chrome 6.0.472.63, only the car.

thanks for the comment. That must be an iframe/javascript issue. Will look into that!

fixed it for chrome 6 windows and other browsers. Do not have ubuntu but it should do it hopefully. Please check again. ;-)

It's just an image of a car for me.

Thanks for the comment. can i ask which system are you on? mac/win? browser?

cheers

same here :D Win 7 64, chrome 6

Check bottom left corner.

Please check again Rob ;-)
