The Music Search is something we really like, you can listen to full length  songs for free, and if you really like the tune there is a link to the song on iTunes and Amazon.  The Video Search searches the web (in particular YouTube) for videos specific to your search.  You can then either watch the video direct from the original website or through Searchme.  With having the flow for pictures it is much easier to view images and choose one right for you.

Another cool site which is similar to this is Viewzi.  However, we have found Viewzi slow and to not have delivered as good results as Searchme.  The reason Viewzi is slower is because it searches through other websites search engines.

What do you think of Searchme?  Know any other cool ways to search the web?
