Yahoo Supports Mobile Searching
Mobile search gained another convert as Yahoo Inc. on Wednesday extended Web, local and image search to wireless devices.

Yahoo has focused on bringing a slimmed-down version of its search interface to mobile browsers. Yahoo Search for Mobile requires color and data-enabled wireless phones with either an HTML or WAP 2.0 browser installed. While local and image search works on either type of mobile browser, Web search only supports HTML browsers, said Thad White, Yahoo's director of mobile products.

Yahoo's My Web 2.0 Includes Tagging
Yahoo has released an upgraded My Web search. My Web 2.0 allows Yahoo users to use the regular Yahoo search and save their favorite pages. When saving, Yahoo allows you to add tags to the page. Once saved, you can then search My Web and find pages that you tagged. It's also integrated with Yahoo 360 so you can connect with your friends and the pages that they saved in their My Web will be connected to yours. I have yet to figure out how to search though everyone's tags and saved pages. There is an "Everyone's Tags" area, however I don't see an ability to search just that. Maybe I just need to explore it a little more.

Yahoo! Unveils Subscriptions Search

Yahoo! unveiled it’s beta “Subscriptions Search” yesterday, allowing subscribed users to search and read subscription only content, such as Consumer Reports, the Wall Street Journal, or FT.com.

An interesting idea. No clue yet, as to wether this works with BugMeNot :).

Puzzling Search Study

I glanced at Tristan Louis? Search Engine Comparison, thinking it was interesting but not very useful. I was surprised to see a few other bloggers discussing it as though it meant something. The number of pages that the various engines claim to have indexed, and the number they claim to return for any search, really don?t mean much. First of all, nobody?s got the time to look at more than a few dozen results?studies show that most people will never look past the first page. Secondly, even if you wanted to look at all the results, the engines probably couldn?t show them to you anyhow. Third, what matters is whether you get what you?re looking for. Almost all the modern engines do a pretty damn good job of getting you something appropriate and useful in the first handful of results. Who cares about the next million?
