Yahoo Tests Revamped Search with 'Glue Pages'

Yahoo has begun testing Glue Pages, a major new way to present search results that caters to its strength as an Internet portal. Glue Pages, which the company began offering in beta form to Yahoo search users in India, combine traditional search results with a wealth of other related information. Traditional search results appear in a strip on the left side of the page, while other modules appear that spotlight sponsored links, recipes, stock charts, Flickr images, news, and even Google blog search results. Yahoo spokeswoman Diana Wong confirmed the beta launch Thursday. "It's very tailored for the Indian market," she said. "Depending on how that does, we may roll it out to other regions and geographies."
