I may get totally shot down here, but I think ask.com was on to something when you type in a question... maybe it's better to have different "types" of searches... whether you're looking for information, shopping, photos, etc... like you can almost "pre-filter" the SERPs to say what type of sites you actually want to come up... :idea:
I'm not suggesting that sevenseek has a question format, but maybe some optional "filters" that visitors can use to help narrow their search critera down....
