The search is executed faster than Mayflower, but the images load a
lot slower than they do on Mayflower. Aside from that the search
algorithm doesn't seem to be that good either:
Wikiwix: 9 results for 'dog'
Mayflower: 3,416 results for 'dog'
I get the same low results when searching for other common terms.

They wrote a bit about some special features it has on the VP

Give it a try, report if you find anything very useful or very broken.
(Best to report on the VP I think)
For my part, I find it much less useful than Mayflower because there's
no metadata display, and also it seems to show lots of thumb results
to images that don't actually exist.
