Search engine project

Hi all I hope most of you would comment about my site, this is a search engine built using ASP, and it searches the strings in another database application.

I'm studing vb and asp in university, so i'm trying to do most of the things I studied here.

I would like to hear comments from you about the following:

1- The site design, I mean the way it looks and the colors.
2- The project as a whole.


Thanks in advance,
zeid

In terms of site design, there's not a whole lot to comment on. It's just an empty page with the search box in the centre. Given the complete simplicity of the page, the Google ads at the top take up too much focus, your search engine is almost lost.

The colours and general design do seem quite nice, they just get drowned by the non-content aspects of the page (which I presume are simply a result of the free web hosting, which is unforunate)
