Yahoo! Search Now Offers Suggestions

By Amit Chowdhry • Jul 12, 2007

Yahoo!’s core service and search engine, Yahoo.com has been updated to provide suggestions to keywords that a user may be trying to search for. As you search for keywords, Yahoo! will make additional suggestions.

Yahoo! believes that this will allow users to search faster. Yahoo!’s two biggest competitors MSN and Google do not have the pull-down menus. While MSN and Live.com do not offer suggestions, Google does offer “Did you mean:” suggestions after a search has been completed.

Making suggestions for users is essential. People write typos all the time and they want to quickly correct them. I believe it is time for MSN and Live to get with the program.
