Yahoo Puts Bang Into Search

1 views

Tis the season to wait in traffic, wait for a parking space, wait in line; holidays can be such a weight on a person. Yahoo has delivered a better bang for getting search results, so people don't have to spend as long typing. For the non-programmers out there, this ! is called an exclamation point. Those who have spent too much time on the Open Shortcuts to demonstrate how you might use them: Navigation example, type: !my to navigate to "http://my.yahoo.com" Common Searches example, type: !wsf to search "weather san francisco" on Yahoo! Search example, type: !wiki rozier to search for "rozier" on Wikipedia Application example, type: !mail bill@yahoo.com to compose a Y! Mail to "bill@yahoo.com" User-created shortcuts can be saved under their profiles, and retrieved by typing !list in the search box. So Y wait longer than necessary? Email the author Del.icio.us") |
