Search.io is a Tabbed search engine that allows you to query multiple sites at one time, each result page divided by tabs.

Now, I typically don’t like to profile tabbed style search engines… meaning, search engines that don’t have their own results, just display search results from other sites.  However, Search.io is rather unique because of it’s scale.  Instead of just searching through the major search engines like Google or Yahoo!, Search.io goes way beyond and also allows you to search for CSS galleries, fonts, blogs, video, lyrics, recipes, and on, and on and on.

On top of being an online destination for news, one feature that sets this site apart from other sites in this field is their “daypi” (DayLife API) that allows publishers and site owners to include the sections and news stories directly on their site.   However, since this blog is all about adding the search to your browser, the following paragraphs will focus primarily on the online interface and search capabilities.
