Thanks to MySpace opening up their search API, we’ve launched MyGoogle, a version of WebMynd that turbocharges Google for MySpace fanatics (Firefox only for now).

To be clear, you don’t need to change how you search… just install, do a search on Google as normal, and that’s how it looks!
As well as changing the look and [...]

For a while now we’ve had a system we’ve used internally to send messages to our users in the search sidebar. We’re able to tweet a link and have it appear in the sponsored section at the top of the sidebar.

Some partners such as OneRiot have also used this to get the word out about [...]

The ‘Air’ design by Chan Karunamuni has won the RedesignGoogle competition.
Chan wins a MacBook Air which will replace his “trusty 2006 Macbook Pro, becoming my mobile satellite for surfing and designing on the go.”
We created RedesignGoogle so you could personalize the appearance of the Google search results page. The design hasn’t changed for ten [...]

We’ve now fixed this problem and you can download a fixed [...]

As the RedesignGoogle gallery has continued to grow, we’ve been working on ways to make our tools more flexible for designers and more compelling for users. So far, RedesignGoogle has only allowed designers to modify the style sheet of the Google results page, but we’re taking that a huge step further: designers can now embed [...]

One of the most common bits of feedback we’ve heard from our users is that the WebMynd add-on makes search results slower to load. Nothing is more important to search than speed,  and this has been a source of irritation for us too. So it was the first thing we set out to improve with [...]

The rules for the RedesignGoogle competition are now up. You can read them here.

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.
