Visual search software producer Groxis has announced the release of the newest version of their software, Grokker 2.1, which features Google's API. Freely available to all Grokker 2.1 customers, the Google plug-in provides Groxis' customers with visual access to Google's search results.

Google is the first search engine to make use of Groxis' information retrieval framework. The new framework in 2.1 requires highly relevant search results in order to produce the best visual search maps with Grokker. Essentially, Grokker users will be able to view Google's results in Grokker's visual map format.
R.J. Pittman, CEO and co-founder of Groxis, said, "our mission is to make information and search results easier to use. The problem is not at all with search engines per se; it is with the tools we use to access them. Google does an outstanding job of finding the world's information, and retrieving highly relevant search results."

Groxis developed a special plug-in that enables users to view the Google search results in prominently designated Google-specific Grokker visual maps.
