A short time ago I wrote a post asking does WordPress needed its own search function any more?. At the time I was using Google search and found it to be far superior. Now though I have found something even better.
The search on this site is now powered by Viewzi Site Search.
Viewzi does some really interesting things. First it offers a new pop-up search set of search results that contain the usual search, but, you can choose to see posts, comments, or both. Searching through the comments is really interesting.
Even better though is that it adds other methods of searching as options. For example, on this blog I have enabled the timeline option that shows all your posts on a timeline. This is amazing for finding old posts to link back to:

It can also hook into your photos via Flickr or your videos via Vidler and search those as well.
The service is pretty new, but I like it a lot. I also like that it is available as a Habari or WordPress plugin and it is really easy to install. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Viewzi looks really promising; I've also been looking at Sikbox as an alternative to the wp or google custom search options.

searching for *advertising*
I saw 35 seconds –loading
than I click the close button
maybe it is fun but to see 35 seconds the loading button is not the future of search enginees or :-)
