Yahoo! Speeding Up Search
Yahoo! "Instant Search" has been introduced based on Yahoo! Shortcuts. AOL (with SmartBox), SNAP and a couple of others are doing similar things in providing answers before the query is completed.
More from the Yahoo! Search Blog on Instant Search.
Wonder what the "Sponsors" think about this beta. :grrr:
This is a convenient idea for the Surfers, but how far can this really go – it is a no-Profit feature (like the Google "feel lucky" button)
With PERSONALIZATION technology evolving, will that suggestion feature automatically "infer" what a user is likely to be looking for based on a profile.
