Fortunately, Vurb has launched a rediscovery of search results composed of a web and mobile contextual search engine. Instead of compelling you to perform numerous searches in separate tabs, Vurb gathers all the significant information on a single page and retains your path in a stream that you can save and later share if you want.

If you want to watch a movie, if you search Vurb, it will get you a grid of images portraying films currently in theaters that you can filter by category. If you select a certain movie, you get a full-featured card showing IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes score. It will indicate if the film can be found on Netflix, the stars are enlisted, a brief plot summary, including buttons to watch the Trailer, Showtimes, Cast, and Reviews. All these are brought up inline to be displayed on one screen rather than forcing you to open new tabs as is the case in Google. If you open Showtimes, a set of nearby movie theaters and showings with tickets available will be shown.



Selection of one of the theaters navigates you from Vurb’s Movies to its Places-themed area of its search engine, including a photo of the theater, address, phone number, Yelp review star average, and hours. At the bottom you get nearby places, their direction , and local Restaurants. If you click the Nearby Places button you will see a filterable layout of stores and eateries in the area of proximity to the theater. On choosing a particular restaurant, a menu, map, and book reservations all in line pop up on the same page.

All this information can be saved as a collection and even texted to friends or posted on Facebook.


On Google you will likely be forced to perform separate searches to come across all this information. However with Vurb, you get a hand in combining various answers for effective planning and decision making.

Therefore, the risk of their access to third-party websites is reduced as the arrangement is a win-win.
