Yahoo India Unveils New Search Concept
By: Tech2.com News Staff   |   May 08,2008
Yahoo! India has announced the launch of a new concept for Yahoo! India Search called Glue Pages Beta, available only at www.yahoo.in.

This new search experience collates and integrates relevant information from across the Web onto a single "visual" search results page. Glue Pages Beta, which aggregates text, images, and video content, is available for select search terms across categories such as health, sports, entertainment, travel, technology, and finance.  

Glue Pages Beta is useful when searching for topics with broad coverage across a variety of information sources. For example, a search for "diabetes" combines results from HowStuffWorks, Yahoo! Groups, Yahoo! Health, Yahoo! Answers, and blogs. A search for "Aishwarya Rai" would include biographical quick-facts, videos, music tracks, photos, and content from Yahoo! Answers.  

Results will be displayed alongside classic Yahoo! India Search results. Users will also find links for other Glue Pages on topics related to their query.  

"Searching on Glue Pages Beta will result in an experience that promises more than just web links. Users will receive more relevant, visually appealing search results from across the Web in one topical page. The new Glue Pages Beta feature for Yahoo! India Search supports our strategy to make Yahoo! the leading starting point on the Internet and demonstrates our commitment to provide a compelling online search experience," said Gopal Krishna, Head of Audience, Yahoo! India.

"Glue Pages Beta limits guesswork for the user by providing the best of web, all onto one 'at-a-glance' page. Over time, Glue Pages Beta will be made available to more categories that are relevant to users in India. We are excited to open this up further and work with a wider ecosystem of consumers, publishers, developers and advertisers in the future," said Sandeep Shrivastava, Director – Search, Yahoo! India.  

In time, Yahoo! India Search will find various ways to supplement algorithmically generated Glue Pages with topical pages built and maintained by local subject-matter experts from the Internet community.

i absolutely dislike this new step.A person searching in Yahoo.india always take into account that what he wants.Here when a user searching for some informations also gets pictures, videos etc will be quite irritated looking at the result page.It must be more precise as it is
