[SEARCHME LOGO] The Searchme system is a one-shot query search system for the web (registration need for beta test). Like Google or Yahoo they have a simple textfield for the query. The innovation in the frontend is a flash interface. The inteface shows the relevant hits in a manner like iTunes cover flow. Really nice.

In addition to poor relevant hits and the overall spam problem the interface has a justiciable problem. The cover flow shows a visual snapshot of the relevant web page. This hurts the rights of the copyright owner. Searchme appropriated the content of the copyright owner cause it is not a problem to read the topic of the web page directly in Searchme frontend. The user doesn't need to move to the original page. I think that's a wide area for jurists and hazard for Searchmes business model.
