Mugurdy is a visual search that I learned about late last week from Larry Ferlazzo (seriously, you should subscribe to his blog if you aren't already subscribed). Mugurdy's homepage doesn't look like much, but enter a search term and Mugurdy comes to life. Mugurdy displays search results as a grid of screenshots of each page in the search results. Place your cursor over one of the screenshots to see an enlarged image of each screenshot.
Applications for Education
Visual search engines can save students time by allowing them to preview the contents of a webpage without having to actually open it in a new tab or window.

Thanks for taking a look at the Mugurdy Visual Search Engine. We're interested in people's feedback. Another feature you might be interested in (that's nearly out of beta) is our CoolIris integration: http://www.mugurdy.com/IrisSearch.aspx?q1=mysearch
