I find it disappointing in its current form. I assume you aren't doing much more than a few ajaxified api calls to the 5 or so engines you're aggregating which is neither technically challenging nor technically interesting.
However, if you applied relative rankings for the individual items from each engine and aggregated them into a single results page instead of multiple "framed" result sections, you might have something I would actually want to use. This would also overcome many of the usability and UI problems I find issue with.

It certainly has potential to become something.
no need to be disappointed, this is just the first iteration of our experiment (v 0.1) and we are just soliciting feedback and collecting data
appreciate the feedback about consolidating results with relative rankings, that is something we are currently developing
