The beta version of the search tool is available at searchme. It elegantly solves the problem of wasting time following a search result with a misleading or vague description. searchme has an itunes-like interface that allows slide through page snapshots, then click on the one that looks like what you want. And no ads yet! So check it out before they figure out how to monetize and go all google on you.
