Finally it looks like Yahoo is now offering those websites who wish to use it’s search facilities – the ability to customise the look and feel of the search. This allows you to embed the search services into your own website.
Yahoo has introduced a software development tool that lets outside parties create customised views of Yahoo Web search results.
Making good on one piece of a strategy to open up its core network services, Yahoo said it was offering SearchMonkey, a technology that lets website owners display selected Yahoo search results on their sites.
Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all approach to search, Yahoo is allowing website owners and users to have more choice about what information they want to show and see when they use Yahoo search.
Yahoo said SearchMonkey can create custom views of Yahoo search in as little as 10 minutes. The free website building tool can be found at http://developer.search.yahoo.com/.
