REDZ Search Engine Review

REDZ is a search engine that uses their own database to search for sites and displays both a verbal synopsis and visual capture of its results. Rather than focusing on just text to display results one of its strengths is that it allows you to scan through you search results faster and with a broader scope. Most people only look at the first or second page before stopping, but REDZ gives you your results on a continues flow allowing you to sort your results faster. Going to a search engine like Google you would need to scroll through pages of results and having to link in to every site for a visual display of the site. Weaknesses of this site for me include not having an advanced search function and having limited operators that are usable. Your operators are limited to AND, OR, and other simple connection words. However, I do find REDZ’s simple displays and functions easy to use. Searching, sorting, and finding websites is fast and easy for any kind of user. I don’t know if there is an advance version that you subscribe to that would allow more search results and advance options.
