Searching for books by their color . . .

See this interesting post with a search engine that allows you to find a book by color: http://www.daveyp.com/blog/index.php/archives/170/
Note that you need to know hex values for the colors, you can see those here: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutorials/colors/article.php/3478961

Interesting new rival (possibly) to Google?

A new search engine has appeared on the scene, Powerset. This engine relies on a natural language search, instead of a keyword search. Read an article about it here: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/09/17/financial/f091731D92.DTL. See the search engine here: www.powerset.com.
