I found the home page for http://us.ixquick.com neat and clean, with not a lot of visuals to over stimulate.The "my settings" feature allows the viewer to set filtering for both video, web, and picture sites. Ixquick is a metasearch website, which means it uses the results fromother search engines. At the top of the page it lists the website search engines that it uses. Ixquick searches Ask, EntireWeb, Gigablast, MSN, Netscape, Open Directory, Wikipedia, and Yahoo.
To the right of the website name there will be a check and an X. The X can be clicked if the user no longer wants to see that site in the results. The check mark can be clicked to add more of the same type of site. There is a star rating system to the right of the title. The number of stars indicates the number of search engines that agree with the search results. One star means one site agrees, five stars means all the search engines agree. There is an international phone directory right at the top left of the page. A very handy link for those in a hurry searching for someone.

I like that about filtering for different formats, very interesting and appealing. The clicking of the x to close viewed sites is a great idea. So simple yet efficient! Thanks for the info.
I too like that filtering idea. I will have to play with that site more
Good observations
