I took a look at webKruz the other day, and finally got around to writing about it. webKruz is a visual search engine - run your search and it will produce a tag cloud, arrange results into categories and then display sites as thumbnails that you can scroll across the screen. Looks like this:
You can hover over a page to get the basic details of title and summary, and a nice feature is that the page will 'unroll' so that you can see the entire thing, rather than just the small section in the thumbnail.
I'm not entirely sure exactly how it creates its different categories, but they are really quite intelligent. A search for country search engines results in categories called web search, country specific search engines, internet search, and search engine lists. I'd have liked to have seen help screens that work (just leads to an error message), and more detail about the engine itself, but overall this is quite impressive. Great if you want some help breaking a subject down, and/or if you want some visual content on the page to look at.
