Posted on May 18, 2005
Adam Durfee, the Product Manager at Yahoo! Search has a useful blog entry that explains Yahoo Shortcuts. Adam says, "A Yahoo! Shortcut is a quick way to use web search to get to the information you want, ideally faster than combing through the web results. Shortcuts results appear automatically when they're relevant to your search and link to content on Yahoo! or across the web." The blog post explains shortcuts and given examples of several shortcuts as well as tips on how to make them. Some of the short cuts include puppy pictures and Iraq news. The "pictures" short cut will show you several pictures in your search results -- in the "puppy pictures" example you will see pictures of puppies. And by using "news" as one of your search keywords Yahoo will show you a few news stories at the top of your results page.
