Customize Your Search - Yahoo Alpha

Posted in Yahoo!

Would you like to have all the search services you use constantly gathered in one interface? Yahoo! has almost read your mind and announced the launch of Yahoo! Alpha – a platform that lets you create your custom search engine by choosing which information sources to include.

Results from such sources as Flickr, Yahoo Answers, YouTube, Yahoo News Search, Wikipedia and Sponsored Results are available to be added to the main results. While customizing the search engine you can remove any of the sources you find not informative enough or - even more – you can also add any additional source you like (syndicate it with an RSS feed) and share your customized version of the search engine with friends.

The Yahoo! Alpha is in beta version now and published on Yahoo Australian domain but hopefully it will become worldwide quite soon.

I love the irony of Yahoo in the very name of the service too – Yahoo! Alfa (beta)
