Search Results
Yahoo! Search indexed and cached the common HTML page formats, as well as several of the more popular file-types, such as PDF, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint, Word documents, RSS/XML and plain text files. For some of these supported file-types, Yahoo! Search provided cached links on their search results allowing for viewing of these file-types in standard HTML.
Using the Advanced Search interface or Preferences settings, Yahoo! Search allowed the customization of search results and enabling of certain settings such as: SafeSearch, Language Selection, Number of results, Domain restrictions, etc.
For a Basic and starter guide to Yahoo! Search, they also provided a Search Basics tutorial.
In 2005, Yahoo! began to provide links to previous versions of pages archived on the Wayback Machine.
In the first week of May 2008, Yahoo! launched a new search mash up called Yahoo! Glue, which is in beta testing.

Famous quotes containing the words search and/or results:
“The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“There is not a single rule, however plausible, and however firmly grounded in epistemology, that is not violated at some time or other. It becomes evident that such violations are not accidental events, they are not results of insufficient knowledge or of inattention which might have been avoided. On the contrary, we see that they are necessary for progress.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
