She's going to act annoyed, bored or present a figure of anticipation. She's going to lean forward and knock on your screen and ask: "Anyone there?" She's going to shot a rubber band at you,
don't worry, it won't hurt... very much. And she's going to repeatedly invite you to type something, anything in the search field, even point to the search field. What is the point you ask? Well, she herself tells you: "The more you ask the more I know, and soon I will rule the world! Mu Ha Ha!"

This is Ms. Dewey, a search engine with a face. Want to get a snappy comment along with your searches? Then this is it for you. "Dewey says never use pirated software, unless it's mapping software. I figure pirates know something about that," says Ms. Dewey when presented with a query for Microsoft. "I've always found that the quickest way to a man's heart is through his ribcage" is the answer to a search with the subject "online romance."

Ms. Dewey also delivers traditional results. And while Google returned 42,200,000 results to the search "online romance," Ms. Dewey only managed 4,765,343, piling the results in a virtually unmanageable scrolling menu. Moreover, the comments are repetitive, which can get somewhat annoying. But nonetheless, Ms. Dewey makes for an excellent search experience, and I invite you to check it out.
