Immersed in search

OK, so you’ve got the minimal approach to search typified by Google, but what if you’re after something a little more exciting. Well PicLens can offer you a full-screen, 3D, visual solution to searching and browsing images and video.

PicLens is a plug-in for Firefox, Safari¹ and Internet Explorer which integrates right into the pages you’re browsing as well as offering a stand-alone search function. It’s compatible with Google Images, Flickr, Facebook and many more, but if you launch it manually you can search YouTube videos too.

Whilst it’s a novel approach, it actually is very useful for an at-a-glance view of your subject matter… and it’s fast. But best of all, PicLens is free.

1. PicLens isn’t compatible with the latest version of Safari (3.1) but works with v3.0.4
