I'm looking for people to complete an experiment for a new Google search interface. The experiment shouldn't take more than about 20 minutes to complete. Go to the website below and read the instructions. Please take a few moments to play around with the new interface before completing the experiment. It is a bit buggy, so refresh the page if it gets stuck. It's most stable with Firefox so please use that if possible.

If you submit your email address, I have a limited supply of various Google tshirts that I will raffle off at some point in the next couple weeks.

Thanks for helping out

That 3D document management paper looks like an interesting read. Don't like the search tool myself ... too much to to read ... just give me a list and I'll pick which ones to open in tabs from there.

google pile wasn't very helpful to me.

i ended just basically using it like i would google, except more slowly and laboriously.

^when i used it it just hung up on the search so i didn't even bother with the 2ndhalf

is this supposed to save time? because it doesn't

in fact it kindof sucks

Creating an app that doesn't work 100% in IE is poor coding. IE sucks... but it's the most used.

idk if the bb king one was very useful in provoking a number of searches. I got all but one answer in a few minutes from the first 2 sources and then spent 5 minutes trying to find how many siblings he had before giving up.
