Tired of sifting through text to get what you want from search engines? Well PageBull is offering visual searches. This means when you search for something the results are displayed with images. The sites they find will appear in thumbnails across the screen. You simply click on the image that looks best. There is no way to create advanced searches or anything, but you can change the amount of images to display.

There is a downside to searching like this however. If your search turns up results for a site that is down, the image never displays. Sometimes the servers respond slowly, and it takes a while for it to get all the images as well. This isn't really the most functional search engine, but it is a really cool idea. Maybe it will take off in the future.
