Leapfish is another search resi;ts aggregator, although its creators prefer name “organizer”. Using Leapfish we can get results from G-gle, Y-hoo and MSN. At first glance it might look like something we know and in fact like nothing innovative. But most valuable feature of Leapfish is hidden. There is no ’search’ button. Engine starts the query just after user finish typing. It is probably most time-saving search engine in the world. It is so fast that search results change with every character we type in search box. Really impressive.

Except for click-free fast delivered information users get also contextual information, matching the query, displayed in left sidebar in different section such as news, videos, images or answers.

Triplify is a new search engine or rathe search results agregator. It presents search results from Google, Yahoo and Live Search. Recently we have seen launching of few similiar services, but there is something innovative in Triplify. Results are not displayed in separate tabs, they are gathered at the same site. Users can choose results from specific engine by enabling and disabling option.

Search results are marked in different colours, and sorted by the order they appear in original search engines. It looks like another useful tool for SEO specialists.

Recently few new web search tools were launched, I mean Kedrix.com, Soovle.com and Viewzi.com. They have few things in common - they represent quite new approach on search results presentation. It has to be stressed that these tools are not search engines, they just present search results from different engines at the same site. Their authors might be right. In a society in which everything tends to be visualised, not written this way can seem to be a proper one.

I am not 100% sure how to classify these tools. Kedrix is a sort of search results aggreation tool - it presents search results from G-gle, Y-hoo, Windows Live and Aks.com in separate tabs. Soovle shows us top auto-complete terms from 7 top-services, not only search engines, but also YouTube and Amazon. After selecting the terms we are looking for we are being redirected to the search results site of particular service we chose. Viewzi is most advanced tool it gives us possibility to switch between different views, from which every single one has another destination - to present images, sites from search results screen shots, videos, audio files etc.

Each of these services gives us search results from different search engines - and information about where particular search result comes from. Soovle and Viewzi have very tricky navigation, in Soovle you can navigate with cursos to select the search engine you want to use by turning all of them clockwise or counterclockwise (the default one is G-gle). Its design is fresh and the tool itself, by presenting top keywords from different services, has potential to become very popular among SEO exprets. The same argument can be used for Kedrix, which also provides similiar solution.

Viewzi seems to be a good tool for searching the content of particular categories like images, audio files or videos. Similar solution was recently implemented by Hakia, I wrote about it few posts ago. Although Hakia presents search results in the old way - by displaying list of links and in Viewzi we can navigate through search results by watching their screen shots, so we do not have to click and click back all the time. Viewzi gives us 18 varied patterns of displaying search results, we can set one as default and switch to another view anytime. For those who want to use graphic search results presentation just once for a time, there is an option to scan search results in traditional way with links list.

It seem that it may be a new trend in search results presentation - aggregation of search results from different engines and displaying it in more attractive way than old, we may say analog-like, list of links. Maybe they will not gain global popularity, but at least they can gain something basing on long tail effect.
