Yahoo Adds Universal Search and Other Tweaks

Yahoo has added a significant change in its search: embrace of “universal search,” a results-blending concept being used by Ask.com, MSN and Google. The main search result will now include relevant photos from its Flickr, events posted at its Upcoming.org and material from Yahoo Answers, among others, reports WSJ. Videos from YouTube, which Google owns, are also now part of the Yahoo search-results mix. Yahoo made a number of other tweaks to its search engine, most notably adding a suggested search terms drop down tray that slides down when you start entering your query.
