Viewzi - Are You Ready For Visual Search?

Viewzi is striving to create a visual interface providing interesting search results. Their home page is nothing terribly new but when a search request is made the options provided for results are, well, visual.

I entered web design as my search and was confronted with small flash views providing the user options to choose the method of displaying results.

The shopping view provides results from Amazon, Ebay, Target, and Walmart. The video from Youtube, BlinkX, and Veoh. Photos from Flickr and Smugmug. You get the idea. There are 14 views in all provided on a horizontal slider creating a less cluttered view that should work pretty well at all resolutions.

Selecting a view provides dynamic screen shots of the SERP's home pages and other relevant pages that would typically be displayed textually. This provides visual feedback on each sites website design and the look and feel of the site. It really makes nice sites shine and less desirable sites stand out too!

Viewzi provides standard old textual search results too with smaller screen shots to keep the visual theme going. The Viewzi team plans to launch new views each week including a blog search view in the not so distant future.
