SearchMash is Google, if you didn’t know.
SearchMash.com is Google. I read it on the internet, so it must be true.
Apparently this is old news - but I knew nothing about it, so I thought I would share. In fact, I’ve never heard of “searchmash”. If you read what I read, you would have seen the following quotes:
“SearchMash is an experimental search site operated by Google. The goal of SearchMash is to test innovative user interfaces in order to continually improve the overall search experience for our users.”
“The site does not include Google branding to help us gather more objective data about user response to new interfaces.”
I’m sure a quick query on Google (imagine that) would reveal several conversations of what other experiments Google is doing without us knowing… but really: I wonder what else they have out there in the wild, somewhere on the internet, posing as cool little “mashups”, web applications, and the like.
PS:
SearchMash.com is actually kinda cool. I definitely like the “infinite scroll” that you get when clicking for “more results”. I like it a lot.
