New Yahoo! Search

New look and feel for Yahoo! Search is here! The new Yahoo! Search enables you to find exactly what you're looking for, faster and easier than ever.

They have also added Image Search provided by Good old Google! The interface is pretty clean, fast and easy to use.

They have added some "smart" features to their search page. For example, typing "Weather San Francisco" brings up SF weather from their own weather database or using maps is now very easy, just type "map 1330 sunset blvd los angeles" and it intelligently pulls up the map for you!

Another example of the "smart" features is typing "zipcode pizza" to get local listings from the yellow pages. For example typing "94089 pizza" brings up all the pizza restaurants in Sunnyvale, CA where Yahoo! actually is based in. "define egregious" on the other hand, looks up the word "egregious" in the dictionary!

I love the idea of [what I call] "single click", since Yahoo! had it all in house. So, print out the shortcuts and I'm sure you'll use it a lot! (Especially if you have their little Yahoo! toolbar installed...)
