Looks kinda awkward when switching between web/images/videos.
I think it would be better if it was more consistent in the looks when switching.
Would probably look better if the submit button was the same size throughout.

And the big search engines out there would probably not use this type of method for obvious reasons xD

Radio buttons as options / separate search pages is most likely what they’d be using.

I promise to stop making comments under the influence of sleepyness if you think of interoperate as Interpret

I love how the color alone makes a huge difference on how we interoperate the size of the container. Adding a simple border around it would help.

David, just a note, this auto expanding box really needs some work.

I know you love the gadgets, but as I type it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. And even using the arrow keys expands it. Now, I have to scroll down a ton to hit the send button.

What about using an onChange event ad looking at the value of the textarea? Would probably work a lot better.

@cancelbubble: Agreed. At least styled radio buttons.

Semantically, it would make more sense to have your search options as radio buttons.

David,
This is great, but I have 2 suggestions :-)

1. Make the space between search types equal.
2. Save the search type on page reload (Use cookies?)

Other that that, it’s neat.
