Speaking of Search, Yahoo is trying something new

I ran across this story on webware.com on Yahoo making their search results more open. The gist of the story is this, if you add some code to your web site, developers can provide richer information in the search results. Yahoo calls this technology SearchMonkey and they are previewing it with results from LinkedIn and Yelp.


As mentioned in the article, scaling could be an issue. You definitely could not just turn on extra information for all sites. But it is still an interesting idea.
