It starts off badly with an irritating background of some young lady pointing to the name. I get that it's called Timmp. I then clicked on the 'preferences' option, with safemode on or off and region. I then couldn't close the dialogue box; it only disappeared when I'd run my search, and I discovered that it had put Safemode back on again. In fact, every time I turned it off and ran a search, it turned it back on for me.
The young lady reappeared, this time to the right of the screen, with Timmp in another position, but it wasn't clickable, so was a total waste of time and space. The SERP (search engine results page) was poor - title, brief summary and URL. Nothing else. The engine gave access on one page to web, news, video, wikipedia and image results, which was fine, except that if I chose to click to another page of results in news for example the *whole* results page reloaded and I had to click again to get down to my news results.
No RSS. No help. No advanced search. Nothing, zip, nada. I looked at the 'About Us' page, and it's a work of genius. Never have I read so much pontificating rubbish in my entire life. Try this; 'Timmp is a new search solution changing the way that we search in our every day lifes'. No really, it's not. There's nothing new, interesting, innovative or unique there. 'Offering the ability to serve bespoke searches eliminating any unwanted material'. How? No idea. 'Timmp will revolutionise the global internet platform as a global village'. What does that even MEAN? And so it goes on. Rubbish.
Avoid. That's the best thing I can say about it.
Edited to add in image (just for you Alan):

Thought I would have a look - if nothing else to see the comedy pointy person background.
Crunch - once again IE6 to the rescue - "Your browser is too old to view this site. Please upgrade your browser, it's free!".
Phew - knew there was a good reason the NHS keeps me on this browser.
