Yahoo Instant Search

Saturday 17 September 2005 @ 12:52 pm

Few days ago, Yahoo quietly launch its Instant Search Beta. Its functionality is similar to Yahoo Search, with an extra feature of analyzing the keywords when you are typing in the search box in real-time.

Most if the time when we search, the search results only appear after we typed in the search keyword(s) and hit the Search button. The real-time analyzing feature in Yahoo Instant Search Beta give us a fast and direct result while we are typing the keyword(s), it instantly provides us with the #1 result for that search. Well, you will know instantly if you have misspelled any of the keyword(s) too. :)

It is quite accurate on some popular keywords, but when I tried with keywords such as search and blog, it didn’t show my the result that I want instantly in the bubble. I would say the system is not very intelligent yet, perhaps because it’s still in beta testing phase. Anyway, the instant analyzing feature is no doubt one of the good ways to check misspelling on the spot.

Honestly, I prefer Google Suggest for its accuracy and several results showing instead of only one.
