Yahoo! has added Search Assist to its search capabilities, and integrated audio, video clips and photos into its search results.
Search Assist provides query suggestions in response to search box entries, as well as related topics and concepts. According to Yahoo, searchers who aren’t overly familiar with their topic will find this feature especially useful.
By integrating multimedia listings into its search results, searchers will be able to access a variety of answers without leaving the page.
The new Yahoo! Search also features Search Shortcuts, which feature what it bills as the most useful information found on the Web and contributed by other online users, such as ratings and reviews, photos and official Web sites
