Comments on: Yahoo’s Search Assist There When you Need It http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2007/07/yahoos-search-assist-there-when-you-need-it.html Internet Marketing News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:00:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Garrett http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2007/07/yahoos-search-assist-there-when-you-need-it.html/comment-page-1#comment-60579 Garrett Sun, 23 Nov 2008 01:28:49 +0000 http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2007/07/yahoos-search-assist-there-when-you-need-it.html#comment-60579 I find the "help" a waste of space, time and more than irritating. it had never "suggested" the proper term or terms the entire time I was forced to endure it.. You can't turn it off permanently as they claim. It is like someone constantly jumping in your face while yapping nonsense. When they (Yahoo) took suggestions regarding this "new" idea, the majority of the replies were negative and some quite obscene. Yahoo of course removed most of them and also ignored every one. I now use Google for search or anyone else except Yahoo. Yahoo search assist = Ya suck, as in bad, terrible, no good, etc. I find the “help” a waste of space, time and more than irritating. it had never “suggested” the proper term or terms the entire time I was forced to endure it..

Too bad Yahoo! is trying inroduce something that seems like it may have been done before? Something like Google suggest and even Ask.com... This is a great new tool from a user experience!

The amazing quality about it is the fact that the suggestions are normally on target. You would think it would come up with a list of limited possible queries that are not helpful for what you are looking for. However, I have tested it out several times knowing ahead of time what I am searching for (which has been fairly specific) and, like magic, it appears as one of the suggestions in the search box. This appears to be another advancement in the continually evolving area of online search engines. This type of “suggest tool” is great for users.

This is the evolution of that. You’re absolutely right and Yahoo has a suggest tool too. This is the evolution of that.

I think it's still in their "lab". Although, Yahoo's does look a little more fancy than Google Suggest. I wonder if it slows down the browser. It's a great tool though. I'm surprised they haven't released it years ago. Google has a very similar tool called Google Suggest. I think it’s still in their “lab”.
