smplr - better looking searches
To stay with the R-enabled web-services, I present you smplr.
“smplr” is a very good looking search-engine front end, that offers different triggers to search for and on different search-enabled websites, like Google (the default), Yahoo, WikiPedia, weblogs, IMDB and even the PirateBay for torrents.
There’s is even an option to skin the default look (requires cookies to be enabled) and hey: a Mac OS X Dashboard-widget (download: smplr.wdgt.zip)!
Give it a try. It’s definitely better looking than Google’s default page!
