As the variety and number of solar data sources continue to increase at a rapid rate, the importance of providing methods to search through these sources becomes increasingly important. By taking advantage of the power of modern JavaScript libraries, a new version of the Virtual Solar Observatory's web interface aims to provide a significantly faster and simpler way to explore the multitude of data repositories available. Querying asynchroniously serves not only to eliminates bottlenecks resulting from slow or unresponsive data providers, but also allows for displaying of results as soon as they are returned. Implicit pagination and post-query filtering enables users to work with large result-sets, while a more modular and customizable UI provides a mechanism for customizing both the look-and-feel and behavior of the VSO web interface. Finally, the new web interface features a custom widget system capable of displaying additional tools and information along-side of the standard VSO search form. Interested users can also write their own widgets and submit them for future incorporation into VSO.
