Sorry, I've read the article but I'm still a bit confused. Search engine aggregation has existed for a while. Besides rounded corners, what differentiates this search engine?

"Phoenix is pretty, but that’s not really the point. What matters is that it suggests new kinds of functionality with a new kind of search experience."

Which new kinds of functionality? How is the search experience new or different?

this is the best designed aggregator i've ever used. it's easy to customize, and it matches my current searching patterns: i rarely look beyond the fold, so if a result is not within the first 3 or 4 results, i'll do a different search or go to other sites (such as youtube or wikipedia, which webmynd does for you). they've focused on the important bits: this is fast, well designed, and easy to customize.
