searchcube is a graphical search engine that presents search results in a compact, visual format. It searches the World Wide Web for websites, videos and images and displays previews of each result on a unique, three-dimensional cube.

searchcube uses the Google AJAX Search API. It displays the first thirty-two (32) results for each of websites, videos and images. The maximum total number of results returned is ninety-six (96) results. Where a preview is not available, the search result is not shown.

Website previews are provided by thumbshots.org. Three dimensional rendering is performed using the Sandy 3D Engine Actionscript library. Animations are performed with the help of the Tweener Actionscript library.

searchcube requires that you have Javascript enabled and Flash Player version 9 or higher installed for your web browser. You can download Flash Player for free from the Adobe website.

We heard about it here:

In French:

SearchCube est un moteur de recherche visuel qui affiche les résultats sous la forme d’un cube compact. Il est possible de naviguer autour de ce cube pour visualiser les différentes informations affichées lors d’une recherche. La recherche effectuée est globale, c’est-à-dire que les résultats renvoyées peuvent être aussi bien des sites comme des images ou encore des vidéos.
