SearchMe, founded by Randy Adams and John Holland, is a visual search engine that launched into private beta in March 2008. Searchme is a new search engine that uses visual search and category refinement. They think it will help you find what you&s;re looking for, faster, with a lot less spam. It&s;s a new way to search that takes advantage of the size and bandwidth of today&s;s Internet and the increasingly visual way that we all interact online. The idea for Searchme came when Mark Kvamme, Searchme&s;s chairman, got tired of looking through a bunch of unrelated results for articles on motocross. He suggested to founders Randy Adams and John Holland that they create a search engine that sorted results into categories. The Searchme visual interface came about when Randy, a father of seven, helped his four-year-old son search for children&s;s web sites that he&s;d seen on TV. It struck Adams that if a search engine could show big pictures of the pages it found before users clicked through to a site, it&s;d be much easier to quickly find what they were looking for. After more than three years of engineering, imaging billions of web pages, and fine-tuning our approach many times over, Searchme was born.
