search gridwell

search gridwell is a search engine designed to provide an easier interface for people to use.

The gridwell search engine does this by

• using a site icon (favicon.ico) against the search results
• displaying more search results per page
• allow navigation between search results with less mouse movement
• simplifying the displayed search results
• accessing search gridwell directly from the browser

site icons

If a website domain uses an icon (called favicon.ico), then this icon is displayed next to the search results, to help identify useful sites. Websites that use this icon can be found by looking next to the website URL in the browser toolbar. For example looking at the URL in browser toolbar for this page you can see a small icon to the left of the URL, this icon is the one used against the search results.

The New Face

The old Face

The Yahoo! home page has changed slowly and incrementally over the years to reflect the evolution of how the Web is used. In the past, this page has been called to task for various causes, but it's continued to serve as a welcoming front door to the Web and a shared experience for hundreds of millions of people.

We've been working on this major makeover for a while, gathering vast amounts of feedback from our audience of users. Since you all began noticing and documenting our tests of the new page back in February, we've tweaked and optimized the experience in response to input from all of you. People's expectations, goals, and information needs have changed over the years. The redesigned home page reflects these new interests and needs. You'll discover:

• Personal Assistant – a preview area displaying recent messages from Yahoo! Mail, an online friends list from Yahoo! Messenger, and local weather forecasts, traffic, and events.
• Yahoo! Pulse – a place to discover the most popular and interesting Yahoo! searches, as well as pop culture trends, music, videos, photos, and all the stuff people are looking for, reading, viewing, listening to, rating or sharing online. It's a window into the attention stream of our estimated half-billion users.
• Simplified navigation, expanded content, an enhanced search box, increased personalization, and more.
