While Google has proven, time and time again, to be the most effective search engine at giving you what you are looking for, it has also paralize our brains into thinking beyond the first page of search results. So I asked the question, what other search engines are out there? If there are others, what can they offer that Google doesn’t?

I came across Viewzi and was pleasantly surprised to see a creative new approach. Instead of searching indexed sites as Google does, Viewzi is a meta-search. It provides a visual approach to search engine results.

Here’s the sales pitch. It’s slick design has been a popular hit. The question is – how are the results compared to Google?

Other questions to consider:

  1. How long will Google stay on top?
  2. What search engines have you found that are equally as valuable to you (either in your line of work or otherwise)?
  3. What is the risk of using only one search engine to cull data and research?
