Yahoo! New searchEngine



Search giant Yahoo has announced the launch of a new tool called Search Suggest. According to the company, this new tool has been designed to provide users with a faster way to find what they are looking for.

The new Search Suggest feature provides automatic suggestions to keywords that a user types into the Yahoo Search Box.
Yahoo is hoping that their new Search feature will help users shorten the time it takes to search for a particular query.
In a blog post by Yahoo’s Kevin Lee, he said, ““Let’s say I’m trying to keep up with our illustrious ‘governator’ here in California. I type ‘arnold s’ in the search box and the suggestions pop up Arnold Schwarzenegger, which saves me from trying to spell out his last name. Or, I’m watching TV and wonder what song is in the background of a commercial that just came on. Problem is that I only remember part of the company name, ‘journey diamond.’ I type it into our new search box, and ‘journey diamond jewelry commercial song’ is suggested right away — problem solved.”


The Search Suggest feature works on Firefox 2 browser only if a user has selected Yahoo as the search engine in the search box.
The new Search Suggest feature can be disabled by the user, in case it becomes an obstacle in the Internet search process.
