Viewzi, the search engine that allows its users to choose with what kind of view they would like the results to be presented to them, is open to the public for use as of today. Basically, you get to decide what kind of results you’d like to see depending on what you are looking for (if your search query is “Bob Dilan” then you choose whether you want to see text results, or music files, biography, video). Results are aggregated from various sources on the Internet. So far, only those who have registered to be beta testers/users could use the engine, but now anonymous usage is open (no login needed).

It’s an interested search experience to say the least. I’ve used Viewzi during restricted beta for my own search needs to find things I’d most likely be using Google for for comparison’s sake, and found that majority of results shown to me in various views are quite satisfactory. Then again, if you are a Google SERP nut, you’ll probably have a hard time adjusting to a completely new way of seeing search results on this site, as the interface, although easy enough, does require some getting used to, especially, with years of [enter search engine name here] SERPs. Basically, after a small leap of faith, everything comes together just fine. I think Viewzi, as a fresh approach to searching, is definitely going to stay on the search horizon in the future.
