Izik Search Application

Izik leverages Blekko's powerful and innovative proprietary search engine to filter results into categories related to your query. Izik offers a fresh new touch-friendly search experience to accommodate shorter queries and drive a superior user experience. It is the search engine for the tablet generation! It's a new web search app from the makers of Blekko, a web search engine for people who are looking for a change from Google. This web search app is targeted to iPad and Android tablets. This application will give you the relevant search results. Enter a search term and Izik quickly pulls in results under various headings, building up a larger page which you can navigate through using in-page navigation buttons that appear at the bottom.

These will vary depending on what you’re searching for. Enter “iPad” as your search term, and Apple will appear as one of the options. Search for “Disneyland” and the categories change to things like “Amusement Parks”, “Travel” and “Hotels”. Makes sense, and is presumably based on the Blekko’s larger aggregated search database working behind the scenes to sort things for you as you go along. These sections work similarly to the website’s “slashtags”, automatic search-narrowing tools that you can type along with your query.

Tablets are increasingly getting integrated into our lives, so they wracked their noggins to figure out how they could use their search technology to optimally serve tablet users. Not surprisingly, their research revealed that tablets take on a very different role in people lives than laptops and desktops. Laptops are for work; tablets are for fun. Laptops are task-oriented while tablets are more exploratory.
