Search, very loud

Paige sends us to: Huckabuck search interface. The cool part is the "search tuner" just under the bar. Here, you get to pick which sites (from Google to Digg) get accessed for your search. The temptation, of course, is to turn them each all the way to the top!

Just like those graphic equalizers we had in college. Of course, if you turn all of them all the way up, you're not really accomplishing much.

I like the way Huckabuck lets you get past the first page problem. Most searchers look at a page or two of results and then give up. If you use the sliders, though, you can radically change the texture of the first page, exposing you to ideas you would have missed otherwise.
