[Web4lib] Searchmash, the other Google serach engine

[Danielle Plumer]

It's not marketing, exactly... supposedly Google's using SearchMash to try out some experimental features, such as drag and drop within search results. See http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/061002-192616 for a Q&A; the site has been available since October.

Google definitely comes up with interesting stuff every now and then.
However, I am just wondering why does need to come up with yet another
search engine, when it already has one (which is out there and well
recognized). 

I don't understand by the term, "Different algorithm" cause I don't see
any difference in the search results at all. They appear exactly the
same. 

Shall we consider it as a strategy of marketing it differently?

Google apparently just released another search engine with different
search algorithm, SearchMash, at http://www.searchmash.com/

Interesting.
