Yahoo Meets Searchers’ Mindsets
June 2, 2005 | Source: Internetnews.com
Yahoo has developed a smart search tool, Mindset, that adjusts results based on how commercial they are.
When people search using Mindset, a simple slider appears on top of the search results. As the slider is moved closer to shopping, commercial listings rise to the top. If it’s moved in the other direction, toward researching, the results weigh toward educational, community and informational sites.
