AllTheWeb’s Alchemist: customizable CSS interface. Possibly the first non-Google search-engine innovation I’ve seen in a few years. AllTheWeb lets you customise the look and feel of your search results. It looks quite flexible, but I wonder how much the interface will be constrained by the bounds of Cascading Style Sheets itself. Google’s API may end up being the truly customizable interface. via andersja
Customizable CSS interface
I examine AllTheWeb's Alchemist tool, which allows users to customize search result interfaces using CSS. While it is a notable innovation in search engines, I question if CSS constraints make Google's API a more flexible solution.
