New and Improved Yahoo! Search<\/p>\n

Back in 2000 when I was a humble college student, Yahoo! Search<\/a> was my all-time-favourite search engine, followed by Altavista<\/a>. That was until I discovered google<\/a> and I haven't looked back since. <\/p>\n

But today, after reading a post on Techcrunch titled Yahoo Search Just Got Smarter<\/a>, it prompted me to check out Yahoo! Search again. The post, by the way, is well-written and it highlights the new and improved features which are recently added to Yahoo! Search. <\/p>\n

So now I hear you asking, \"what are the major differences to the previous Yahoo! Search?\". The major differences are the new version is more intelligent in that it now has a built-in search assistant (similar to Google suggest but with Explore Concepts section where you can examine related keywords\/concepts) and a guided search which leads you to any other relevant sections within Yahoo! network. To quote Erick Schonfeld (the author of Yahoo Search Just Got Smarter<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Do a search for a restaurant or hotel, and results from Yahoo Local come out on top, with links to maps, ratings, and reviews. Type in ?bourne ultimatum,? and the top result is a widget from Yahoo Movies with a trailer you can click on, audience reviews, and show times nearest you. Search for ?Vancouver,? and the top result is a widget from Yahoo Travel, with links to a guide, hotels, restaurants, flights, and maps. Type in ?digital camera,? and you get shortcut results from Yahoo Shopping.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think Yahoo! has done a great job with the new features, and while I will still be using google as my primary search engine, I might be using Yahoo! Search a little more often now that they have these cool additions. <\/p>\n
