Yoozila is a new search engine that built on Google code. As stated on their “About” page, the presentation of the users’ search results in a beautiful Web 2.0 manner is their founding appeal. Since the foundation of their Web design is Web 2.0, you won’t surprise that the search result page is in 3-column, but I’m not sure when and how 3-column Web design has became a symbol of a Web 2.0 design and I also do not want to further argue about it.

Yoozila’s home page continue to follow the simplicity of user interface as preserved by Google. On the landing page of Yoozila, you’ll find the Web search, as well as search image, video, news, blog, and etc., seemed like it want to positioning itself as Google No. 2, but focused on Web 2.0 presentation manner. Most recently, it also updated a feature called word suggestion, which you can easily find a similar feature in almost all the notable search engines.

Using Yoozila for a while reminds me a lot of another search engine called Exalead. Both presentation of the search result page almost the same, I mean “almost.” Thumbnails on the left, search results stand on the middle, and right-hand side is the search filters. Differences are Exalead would run a sponsored advertisement on the top, and lack of the parental control which can be turned on or off by Yoozila users. Finally, both search engines also allowed users to choose their preferred viewing options (a small view icon on the top), that are to show image and title, or show title and text, or simply show it all.
