Yahoo's Y!Q Contextual Search Beta

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the punctuation-equals-edgy-we-swear dept.

skeptic1 writes "Just days after Microsoft unvieled its new MSN search, Yahoo released a new search tool called Y!Q that allows users to search within the context of the web pages they are currently viewing. It's not the typical textbox input search, and you don't even have to leave the current page you're on to use it. The current release is only the beta version."

  1. Extension? by ack154 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Sounds like something that would make a nice extension in Firefox. I know there's a Dictionary one where you can highlight a word and get definitions, or the highlight/copy one... but this could be a nice highlight -> google search or something.

    Or if it already exsits, anyone have a link? I don't recall seeing one at http://update.mozilla.org/
