Yahoo improves search capabiities
Oct 2nd, 2007 by dabloguiman
After launching the real-time query suggestions last July, Yahoo! Search has now improved its search capabilities by releasing the new Yahoo! Search Assist.
Search Assist is an Ajax assistant pane that drops down to give you suggestions to complete the keywords, as well as related concepts that you might want to try.
The keyword suggestions appear in the search results page, along with related concepts that give users a point-and-click query refinement capability that enables them to explore a subject area they may be unfamiliar with.
As you click on a new concept suggestion you get a new set of results and new concepts related to your original keyword. Exploring further is now simply a matter of clicking on new concepts
Images from Flickr and playable videos are now embedded also in the main results page
