Blekko Redesign: Nicer Layout Help With Poor Search Results?

Blekko LogoBlekko announced a major redesign yesterday – from their logo color schemes (dark red to light blue) to pretty much everything you see.

Blekko detailed the three core changes:

Blekko now exposes multiple search categories to help users navigate to high quality results more efficiently and with less queries
Blekko supports a responsive design that adjusts to tablet and desktop screen sizes
The site has been redesigned with a new aesthetic and navigational approach that we hope users find fun and engaging

But are the results any better?

The two sites that come up under the SEO category, I do not write for. If I dig deeper, yes, Search Engine Land and Search Engine Roundtable do come up. But I do not write for the other two, heck, I never wrote for Search Engine Journal.

A WebmasterWorld thread has similar complaints. They say the search results look pretty but the results themselves are well off the mark.
