Instant Gratification
| Thursday, January 25th, 2007 | --Sean |
I could have sworn that we'd talked about Instant Search before, but for the life of me, I can't find it anywhere in the archives. So I'll assume that I'm not repeating anything here. Basically, Instant Search is a cute application of the idea that, hey, if we think we know the search result that you're looking for, why not show it to you right away instead of bothering to load up a new page? You can read more about it in the FAQ, but basically think of it like a "I'm Feeling Relatively Confident" option for your search page that'll give you back the top result right away (especially if it's one of our shortcuts).
Okay, so that's taken care of. The new thing that I noticed is that, you now have the option to have Instant Search enabled on the search.yahoo.com homepage. Just set it from your display preferences and get to the gratification!
