Yahoo Alpha beta search
p2pnet.net news:- Yahoo’s Australian engineers have come up with the Alpha beta, the prototype of a “fully customisable search engine through which users can perform Flickr, Wikipedia, YouTube and Yahoo search queries simultaneously” along the lines of Google’s Co-op and US start-up, Rollyo, says the Sydney Morning Herald.
Brett Poole, a search engineer at Yahoo7 who spearheaded the site’s development, says he was astonished at the initial publicity because no marketing had been conducted, says the story.
The site incorporates Yahoo’s regular web search function, “but, in addition to this, can display results from Wikipedia, Yahoo7 Answers, Flickr and YouTube”.
It hasn’t yet been decided when or if Alpha will be rolled out as an official, final product, says the SMH.
