Visualize your search with Viewzi

It takes quite a lot for any search engine to drag me away from Google’s precise and clean-cut interface. But somehow, Viewzi seems to be the one lately to do exactly that.

You see, Viewzi isn’t really a search engine, but rather a search aggregator that has found a clever way to present search results to you in several different forms (depending on what your search query is). Let’s say you’re doing a standard web search for information, Viewzi will offer you a selection of ways to view the search results. You can see them by page screenshot, standard text view, image-grid format, Google timeline view (helpful in visualizing what’s new and what’s old), and site information view (for a more in-depth look at the site you’re viewing).

And if you’re looking for photos, you can see the results in a tag cloud format or a grid format.

There are different views for books, music, weather, shopping, and even celebrities. I’m not saying that Viewzi is replacing Google, but it sure is supplementing the results by offering me a better grasp of where the search results are coming from as well as how to see them visually in a new light.
