European metasearch engine Kartoo has been given a radical face lift, presenting a dark blue and (we normally do not use such terms for search engine interfaces) beautiful interface.

While most other search sites including AlltheWeb (see below) presents stripped down text oriented designs that loads fast in any browser, Kartoo has decided to make use of the most advanced presentation technology. Flash included.

Kartoo is a visually "field" oriented search engine that presents results graphically. The sites found are like islands in an ocean of various search topics. You may click on these islands to get to the sites, or you may click on a topic to rephrase your search. Click on a plus sign and the term is added to your query, click on a minus and it is excluded from the results.

Experts have shown that perception is facilitated considerably by visual aids. Furthermore, quite a large percentage of surfers are said to be visually oriented. These surfers may find the text oriented search engines confusing, but might feel right at home with engines like Kartoo.

Note, however, that due to the use of advanced graphics, Kartoo may be a bit slow on some machines. Those of you who are more text oriented will find the sites and the search terms find in the left hand column of the result pages as well.
