Web 2.0 Search Tom Whittaker

Yes, web 2.0 strategies have come to search or at least that is what RedZee Search is promoting. 

RedZee offers regular text based search, similar to Google or Yahoo, which it promotes as Search 1.o, but also a display of the results using thumbnail images, which is promotes as Search 2.0.

Using the Search 2.0 format the results are presented in a graphical rolodex type format that is very interesting.  I found that just by seeing an image of a site’s homepage, I was quickly able to determine if it was a place I wanted to land or not.  It is very similar to Snap, which I have installed on my own personal blog, that allows you to preview a site before you click to it.  The best part of the web 2.0 display was I feel that by using it, I was able to scan through the results faster than I do with Google and I definetely landed on less unnecessary sites.

Now this search engine or format may not be for everyone, but I give this company credit for doing something different and not accepting that all search must be the same.
