Zoom, Enhance.
| Thursday, August 14th, 2008 | --Sean |
I'm used to being wowed by all of our enhanced results in Yahoo! Search, as they add a lot of visual flair to an otherwise utilitarian search results page (though adding SearchMonkey applications can help!). But when the results are already flashy, what can you do to wow the users? Maybe just make the results better, like we've done with our Olympics image search. As long as we know that you're searching for an athlete, or trying to find information about the Olympics, we'll now show a fun carousel of high-resolution images from Yahoo! Sports. It's the first time that I've seen this type of in-house search enhancement for images, so it's kind of a neat evolution.
