search-cube is a graphical search engine that presents search results in a compact, visual format in three dimensions.

search-cube is a search engine that displays results as a cube of screen shots that can be enlarged for a preview before visiting each website returned by your search query.

The general concept is similar to that of Viewzi and Middle Spot. The difference between search-cube and Viewzi or Middle Spot is in the format of display. search-cube displays results as a cube that users can spin and rotate using the arrow keys on a keyboard.

Learners are often reluctant, when doing web research, to look beyond the first two or three pages of results. search-cube could be one way to get learners to look at search engine results that they might otherwise avoid if those results were displayed in a list. By spinning the cube learners can quickly scan six pages of search results.
