So after one year, I really don’t see much happening. Another academic product from yahoo I guess..

Interesting…so, I’m assuming it would work for any web site. For example I have a successful work at home business online, if I apply the same principal it will work for my site as well?

I think yahoo is right in there competing with google. MSN, bye bye.

‘Search for “Halle Berry” and you get a bio, pics, YouTube videos, news, and results from Yahoo Answers.’

Sounds like Yahoo is turning into a meta search engine …. I do favor this type of engines over “1 source” engines that give a dogmatic view of the web

Its also interesting to note how a relatively less talked about product like kosmix ( http://www.crun.../company/kosmix ) looks pretty similiar. They’ve even been covered by TC, and funded upto $30mn odd, with the ealery architects of junglee/amazon behind the company, and bezos on the board.

But they’ve stuck to niche vertical search, started with health and auto when i checked them out a year back. Seems they’ve added a few more verticals including travel, etc ( compare the similiar results for taj mahal http://www.kosm...el/taj_mahal-s? and you’ll see what i mean )

Actually, comparing Glue to Google Universal Search might be missing the point. This story argues that dYahoo Glue might be bigger than you think:

Or something you could create as a “one-man weekend project…”

Wow, this is bad. Horribly unfocused layout. At least Google’s version looks aesthetically aligned. This would drive me away from Yahoo completely.

Nationalism has cluttered the brains of many. Not innovative (see ASK 3D), not functional, and not helpful.

Short Y! stock if they roll this out in the US.

Lots of research is happening in the labs of the global web 2.0 companies who have their labs in India in maybe bangalore, pune , hyderabad or bombay.

These research projects are getting into the market place now and maybe they will be the foundation of the Web 3.0.

Three cheers to India.

If Yahoo allows google to place ads it could also allow MSN to place ads on its pages to avoid anti-trust issues. A few of the defunct search sites like lycos allow for universal search. I still think if Yahoo wants to make profits from search it should seek out partnerships with 411 and YellowPages to connect users who are looking for business information locally to businesses universally.

At #22 Vidar, you just made my point. I actually know search.yahoo.com exists, but don’t use it because that is one more word to type in. Granted I could have it bookmarked,but you made the point already that most don’t know it exists. So web search newbies with slow connections are use the slow loading yahoo front page or the fast google frontpage. Which do you think they would stick with?

This will definitely be a milestone in the search engine history. For those who cry on bandwidth of internet, this will not be a problem in near future. Many people are worried about the interface. Actually it will be very helpful for internet beginners and non English speakers. Anyway they (Yahoo) will surely improve the interface once after launching.

Oh God! If yahoo’s answer to google is designing a crappier UI I feel bad for them.

Seriously. We are all pretty ADD as it is. Showing three result panes does not help the cause. Plus, the actual search results pane…I assumed for first few seconds it was the ads.

Meh – not sure about this at all (but I’ve been proved wrong on many occasions). It looks like a messier version of Ask 3D (which has hardly turned their fortunes around, despite a bucket of marketing.

Once again it seems like Google is doing this stuff better; the way it blends the results in a way that is familiar to the user, but still allows new content to be brought in, just feels better thought out.

Is this really Jerry’s master-plan?
