14 DAY TRIAL // Google is the most popular search engine on the internet so many users are attracted to the service just because their friends are searching on Google every day. Google is more than a technology or a brand. It's a phenomenon. The company already modified the English dictionary because I even heard people saying that they "Google him" meaning that they search Google for somebody. The majority of the users are talking about Google saying that it is a search engine, but it is more than a simple technology. It provides a huge number of solutions that were meant to revolutionize the use of the computer. Getting back to the search engine, I must say that Google's interface is surely one of the most popular appearances on the internet. Except the Google Toolbar and other solutions, there are a lot of ways for searching Google using the company's products.
For example, you should visit this page. "If you don't like the cluttered Google homepage and just want a minimalistic homepage with a search box, this page might be for you. You'll also notice that this page doesn't have any links. It was created for the IE explorer bar," Ionut Alex, a Google blogger, said. This link provides you with a mini-version of the Google search engine but with the same interface for the result page. If you want another interface for the results, you should visit this link that offers you another search engine with results represented only by their titles.
The company also provides a Google XUL, a version of the search engine available only for the XUL capable browsers such as Firefox. It is available here with a nice mini-mode interface.
"The mobile-optimized Google shows small snippets and the URL for each results, but all 10 results fit the screen. You might also like the transcoded pages that show more content and less JavaScript, animations and Flash objects. You can also add a gadget to your personalized homepage that will let you search Google (web, local, video, blogs) and see the results inside the gadget," Ionut Alex mentioned as Google Search alternatives.
