One of our key goals at WebMynd is to give you more control over your search experience. Our first steps toward that were to outfit our add-on with our own set of customizable search interfaces. Now we’re excited to announce our next step: RedesignGoogle.

RedesignGoogle lets you completely customize the look of Google Search by installing user-submitted designs from an online gallery. A stripped-down version of the WebMynd add-on applies your installed stylesheet whenever you’re on a Google search results page. (You can enable WebMynd’s other features if you like, but they’re turned off by default.) Currently, RedesignGoogle is available for Firefox, and we’ll be releasing versions of the add-on for other browsers soon.

If you’re a designer, this is your chance to revamp the most widely used service on the web. Anything that can be manipulating using CSS can be changed with RedesignGoogle; here are a couple of examples of what’s possible. We offer a web-based CSS editor for creating and previewing your designs, but you’re free to use your preferred tools — just paste your stylesheet into the editor when you’re ready to apply it to your own searches and publish it to the Gallery.

Most exciting of all: we’ll be holding a competition to find the best user-submitted designs. The winner will receive a new MacBook Air; runners-up will get something cool too. Designs will be judged by Paul Graham, the WebMynd team, and a few others TBA. Stay tuned for more details and official rules.
