    Kind of Annoying
    Apart from the quality of the search results from Ms. Dewey, she’s kind of annoying. She gets bored and pouty if you don’t ask a question for a minute or two. It’s sort of amusing though, in very small doses.

    Aesthetics needs to be reviewed
    The user interface needs to be revisited as it makes it dificult to clearly see the search box. It doesn’t offer much of navigational features. The search results are not refined and could use more tweaking.

    The dark background prevents the search feature from standing out. Also, the directives and navigation are hard to read and leave much to be desired.

    Overall, they get an “A” for effort but definately offers new possibilities in the way search engines will interact with users in the future.
