易搜是工程师们一手炮制的，它只是内部的一个hack项目，用老何的话来说就是看看工程师的脑袋里到底有什么。所以在界面上我们也一直在思索能有什么样的突破。
在google引领的理性的、简单实用的用户体验风潮下，我们开始的设计也是中规中矩的。但，我们始终没有放弃思考……
用户体验、UE、UX这些名词术语近年来可谓不绝于耳，各大网站都纷纷跟进，我们也或多或少地看到了网站上不近人意的地方正在慢慢减少。应该说我们的第一版设计已经达到了可用性的要求，实现了利用ajax整合搜索提高易用性，给用户带来了全新的使用感受，但在易用性之后我们还能做些什么来更上层楼呢？
看看现在的主流搜索引擎，从google到百度，也包括经典版的中国yahoo搜索，界面是非常同质化的。当然理性和简约的设计是值得推崇的，但，你不觉得在理性地将搜索结果推到你面前的时候还可以有点其它的东西吗？比如，也许你想：它能更漂亮一点吗，更可爱一点？哦，是的，让页面更漂亮更可爱不是罪。忙碌的现代人，承受生存重压的职业人，让他们在快速查找信息的同时得到一点感观上的享受，是我们做产品的人应尽的职责。我们知道我们要的是什么了，一点点感情，从易用性设计到情感化设计，让我们的搜索看上去不要那么冷冰冰！
这时，让我们感谢我们ued伟大的设计师吧！他们正当时地、无私地奉送了我们一套笔绘icon，工程师们都义无反顾地爱上了这套icon，于是在这套icon的基础上我们确定了易搜的视觉风格，我们将其定位为轻松的涂鸦风格：
希望带给用户一丝放松，一丝诙谐或许还有一点点重回童年的喜悦……这样很快易搜就上线了，大家可以到 yisou.com enjoy一下。
当然现在反观当时的设计，还是有很多不足的，有些地方显得粗糙，不过这时我们需要运用一下选择的技巧与放弃的智慧，毕竟每个项目都是时间紧任务重，所以我们也只好抓大放小了：）另外，网络媒体的设计也不同于平面媒体，尤其是在这样一个以应用为主的搜索产品上，我们更需要在设计效果和代码性能上做出平衡的选择。呵呵，就不再吹牛了。下面贴一张易搜的内部海报，同样也是希望带给您搜索的另一种体验。
雅虎全能搜索也是在易搜的基础之上发展起来的哦。
