Facesaerch for finding faces

Facesaerch is a new engine that's come to my attention. Yes, the a and the e are the wrong way around, it's not me making a typo. Basically it's a bolt on front end to Google images and it displays primarily faces and torso shots of people. It provides access via a slider bar (that's not the default, which is some circular wheel thing that made no sense to me) and it shifts a small number (about 20 or so) images across from one side of the screen to the other in a fairly smooth transition.

The strength of this engine is in the faces/torso element, which it does very well - sometimes that's all you want and wading through page of page of photographs that are not appropriate when you're just looking for a good mug shot can be a pain. This engine effectively removes that annoyance. Screenshot below so you can see what it's like.
