I've been playing around with you.com after someone mentioned on HN. I dig the layout/quality of results. It's kind of interesting to have it feel like you're netflixing your search results by source (reddit, stack overflow, etc.) I'm still toggling back and forth on you to google because i feel like i might miss out something. Surprisingly some the results have exceeded my expectations. We'll see.

This site is quite laggy, I'm assuming because of all the JS. Tried to load it with JS disabled and it doesn't work at all.

The site isn’t laggy for me on an ipad7, as for disabled js I don’t see the point anymore this is like trying to load webpages without css or html at this point.

The side scrolling is nice, but when searching some code related question it doesn't show useful results. Even the Code Complete snippets aren't displayed in a readable way, lines are too short, and the language highlight is not recognized (every script is python by default?).

Thanks for mentioning it since I'm creating a snippet search engine and wanted some competitors to compare.
