With its retro design, replete with fluoro green text on black background, and use of vi commands, Haugaard expects the engine to appeal to hardcore programmers familiar with text editors.

However, he also feels the added features (deleting, editing and saving listings) would appeal to a wider audience and could be put to good use in more conventional search engines.

Although the emphasis on mouse-less navigation would suit vi enthusiasts and touch typists alike, the search engine remains mouse compatible for the casual user.
