It looks to me like "open search results" platform. While cool, I think deeper access would be far more beneficial to both third parties and Y!. But it's certainly a step in the right direction.
- ntoshev 19y agoAlexa Web Search is a little deeper, but it also doesn't give you an API to the inverted index itself.

It's harder to loop third parties into actual search processing and ranking -- for one thing, they would have an incentive to rank their own results the highest. Yahoo has an incentive to keep results globally relevant.
