• Viewzi
• Summary: Basically it uses both google and yahoo to search. But what sets it apart is all of the different ways that you can view the results. Some of the options to view are more useful than others, but some are just useless.
• Strengths: Because you can make your own account you can personalize viewzi and make it your own. It is also much more interesting to look at and use.
• Weaknesses: Some of the viewing options are pointless and does not do anything helpful, but it probably depends on what you are searching and your topic.
• Databases: Viewzi does not use it's own database, it uses yahoo and google's.
• Operators: Supports both Boolean and Mathematical operations.
• Case Sensitivity: No
• Stop Words: Everything is searched for.
• Advance Search Function: as far as I can see, there is no advanced option.
• Limits: Does not allow for an advanced search and can become slightly overwhelming with all of the different viewing options.
• Sorting: Sorted by relevance and popularity.
• Display: The display is really what sets viewzi apart from the rest. It is crisper, colorful, and just all around better to look at than most search tools.
• Help Function: There was none that I could find.
• Special Features: Create and account and multiple ways to view results.
