Has anyone else noticed the middle sample is the design for http://www.seeqpod.com? They should have a problem with this too…

How much better does ‘web search’ need to get? The technology has basically become a commodity. Yahoo! won’t win search by building a better index, at this point it’s a brand war for consumers and an marketplace war for advertising dollars. This prompts the move from search as destination to applications built on top of search technologies.

Dipity built a mashup with DayLife + Yahoo! BOSS + Dipity and found the results to be great from both services and that it was a great way to connect up to a powerful index. If Google were open we would have simply included those as well and had broader content reach.

Yahoo! is working greatly these days. With its Y!OS strategy, it is greatly contributing to open source web development. Don’t bother Yahoo! about these controversies and keep the track. We are waiting for something great!

When will people learn that it is never a good idea to use third-party web services since you risk the plug being pulled out from you one day?

Are you one of the Yahoo employee?
Just a while ago some other moron @ yahoo tried to copy CUILL and got busted..

dude.. we understand Yahoo BOSS is neat and fast.. but that doesn’t mean you guys go around belittling the bold new ideas out there with your crap.

And make no mistake.. end of the day its not the speed of technical implementation but its the overall idea and consumer adoption..

We also launched today, as part of the Mashable Yahoo BOSS Challenge, a new search engine powered by Yahoo BOSS that includes the capabilities of website thumbnails on search results. We’ve been developing for the last 2 years a highly scalable developer focused website thumbnails provider platform and we use that to showcase it at http://www.uquery.com.

Yahoo BOSS is really powerful and fast, allowing us to focus on creating other new cool features leveraging results provided by BOSS instead of creating our own crawler and maintaining a complex infrastructure.

Give us feedback on http://www.uquery.com

Thanks,
Marcio Castilho

Why don’t anyone just try to build a search engine according to people’s wishes and search habits instead of building non-user friendly ones?

I fail to see how coverflow can make web search easier. Image search for sure, video search maybe, but information retrieval?

I thought Apple patented the coverflow UI

Try this instead.

This shows how easy it is build a site like “searchme” with Yahoo! BOSS. It took about 4-6 hours and fortunately, the results are much more relevant. The images are not crispy since I am using a free version of thumshots.org.

Or Apple should launch iSearch ( or iSomething) with this same design, and just clear the table.

Since the UI seems to be inspired by Apple, one of them should partner with Apple to win the perspective of authority on this Visual Search UI.

the searchme-yahoo copy cat could not be a good thing for searchme. i tried searchme and many times it will not pick up a domain or link that i type directly in the search bar. back to the drawing boards fellas.

There is no confllict of interest here other than showing everyone that building a similar business to SearchMe with Yahoo BOSS is very possible, which it is. Sequoia should be pleased…..

Just found an article with a cool video/demo of SearchMe that you should check out if you don't know the product. Seems like they were at TC50.

I don’t like the visual search. I tried it and within a minute I found it to be slow and not very useful. When searching for websites all you need is a small description and thumbnail of website. Maybe 300px X 300px… Loads a lot faster and gets the job done. The visual search is cool on an ipod, but not for searching
